Eat
Living where you learn means that eventually, you'll need to eat. With the dining experience at South you'll never have to worry! Click here for more USA Dining Information.
The Meals
The meals portion of each meal plan is available at the Fresh Food Company, South's all-you-care-to-eat dining location. The Fresh Food Company is located on the 2nd floor of the Dining Hall adjacent to the residential communities.
The Bucks
Bonus Bucks supplement your meal plan and are accepted as payment at all USA Dining locations. Unused Bonus Bucks roll from fall to spring but expire at the end of the spring term.
