UCF Dining Services — Attraction in Alafaya

so unbelievably inefficient. my meal plan was shut off a couple times in the past because of the office’s inability to handle individual issues in a timely manner. currently, i put in a request (in person) to start a payment plan to be billed a certain amount every month rather than paying in a lump sum. since 1/29 when i signed the form, i have called and emailed asking for updates with no response whatsoever, almost like i’m being ignored. i visited in person so they couldn’t ignore me and was simply told to “wait.” it’s 2/23 now. almost an entire MONTH after i put in my request and i still have a hold on my account. i got an email today warning that my meal plan could be “turned off” if i don’t pay my entire balance by march 1st. unbelievable how they’re so efficient at threatening to cut off my food supply but so useless at following through on what they’re supposed to do. just a terrible experience all around. this year (2020) students should NOT have been charged full price for their meal plans when half of the dining locations on campus were closed for the entirety of both semesters. that in itself is cheaty and wrong. we’re paying for more than we’re getting....

Having a meal plan is convenient but that’s about it. The dining hall food is pretty hit or miss and the service is sub par save for a few really amazing employees, but no major complaints. The hours of the student union and everywhere else you can use dining dollars are horrible. The student union is often only open for 4-5 hours a day and it’s never the posted times. I have the meal plan of 10 meals a week and $400 dining dollars a semester so I usually use my meal swipes during the week and dining dollars on the weekend but the hours are so unreliable that I often have to go somewhere off campus to eat dinner. Panda Express was a favorite of mine on the weekends but they recently changed their hours and are no longer open on weekends which is frustrating since the Apple Maps do not reflect...

The food here is like the food of a third world country, and are disorganized as heck. I caught them using non-vegan ingredients at the vegan station, most of the time, the ice cream machine is broken, I ordered a veggie burger once, and came back fifteen minutes later and found she forgot to put it on. There is almost no variety, it is like the same food every day. They are disorganized as heck, after I transferred out of this university, I filled out a cancellation form, and emailed them to confirm it went through. They call me and email me still to say that I need to pay, and I've already explained it to them once, and they said they would take care of it, and they still call back, I had to block them. Highly overpriced for extremely low quality, would not recommend this or UCF in...
