Much of your experience at Nova Southeastern University will take place outside the classroom. Our dining halls and food court are perfect for hanging out with your friends, networking with your peers, studying in groups, or simply enjoying a great meal.

How Dining Plans Work

All students who live on campus are required to enroll in a meal plan. Like a debit account, these plans work on a declining balance (DB) system. You can use your funds at any Shark Dining location, as well as popular on-campus restaurants such as Subway, Einstein Bros. Bagels, and Starbucks.

Know Your Plan

Food Allergies and Dietary Preferences

Have special dietary needs or food allergies? There’s a wide range of options for you in our dining halls and food court. Each menu item has a full list of ingredients, plus vegan and vegetarian dishes are marked with a special icon.

Innovative Dining with Speedy Service

Razor’s Reef Food Court, located in the Don Taft University Center, functions like a retail location, so you can buy breakfast, lunch, and dinner at various stations. To keep things interesting, Sharks have the option to vote on menus and themes that rotate throughout the semester.

Dining Options in the Reef 

To cultivate a healthy mind, you’ll need to fuel your body. NSU students have plenty to choose from: comfort foods that remind you of home, freshly prepared ramen dishes, healthy salad and plant-based options, or classic Italian pastas and pizzas. There’s something here for all Sharks.
