After a strenuous day of classes and trekking across University of Southern California’s huge campus, it feels good to know that we have a lot of different food options. Whether you like meal plans, classy restaurants, or local dives, the USC area has something to offer everyone. Check out this guide for the best tips about eating at USC!
If you’re dorm living or just not into the whole college cooking fad, then USC residential dining is for you. Meal plans are designated based off of class standing and housing location. While every on campus student is automatically enrolled in the default plan, students are able to upgrade to different plans.
On campus meal plans are a great option for students because of USC’s commitment to providing students with healthy food options. Dining locations include Parkside Restaurant and Grill, Everybody’s Kitchen, and Cafe 84. The three should definitely satisfy those eating at USC. The Spring 2017 change request to upgrade is due on January 14th 2017, so be sure to check out the different upgraded dining options at this link.
