What Students Are Saying
You have access to all of SU's dining halls, which is very nice. However, some are nicer than others. The one closest to ESF campus and Centennial Hall, Sadler Hall, isn't the best, so you'll have to walk a tiny bit farther than it may first seem if that's a major issue. And Sadler's food still isn't all that bad, in my opinion.
SU's dining is very vegetarian and vegan friendly, and though I'm not either, I find that sometimes the vegetarian and vegan food is better than the regular food!
You also get a certain amount of money on your ID based on your meal plan that can be used for food outside the dining halls. There's a campus delivery service that only uses this money as well as a few small grocery stores on SU campus that use it and/or normal cash.

Trailhead cafe is amazing.
Alexandria from Syracuse, NY
ESF currently doesn't have their own dining halls so ESF students eat at Syracuse's dining halls. One meal plan swipe is all you can eat, so one never goes hungry. If anything, they have leftover meal swipes at the end of the week which unfortunately don't roll-over. The food is generally good, and there is a large selection of vegan and vegetarian options as well. The only complaint about the dining is that the mean plan through Syracuse is so expensive, especially compared to the amount ESF students pay for tuition!
Ashlyn from South Lima, NY
You can have a meal plan with Syracuse University and/or get one with the Trailhead Cafe. The Cafe has a lot of delicious options and the SU dining halls are good if you need something quick.

Just recently got our own student center with a cafe in it - Trailhead Cafe. Otherwise Syracuse University offers meal plans for SUNY students. The dining halls are always available and offer a wide selection of food.
Kristine from Syracuse, NY
The dining halls have a large selection of food. There's something for everyone including vegans and vegetarians. The food doesn't always taste the best, but it's pretty good for dining food.
Elizabeth from Stewartstown, PA
SU dining halls are pretty much better than any other dining hall I've been too. Buffet style and always nice people working there. Soon, ESF will have their own dining hall but how that turns out is still in the air.
OAKIE!
