Meal plans

If your student will be living on campus, we require all residents to have a meal plan . There are multiple plan options, and each comes with a varying number of meals in Tuscana, our campus restaurant, and Fire Funds to use at our other campus dining locations: Chick-fil-A, Back Yard Burgers, Einstein Bros Bagels, Papa John’s Pizza, Portico Coffeehouse, and Mi Casa Café . Commuter students have the option to purchase meal plans, too . There is a dedicated kitchen (free of the top 8 allergens) and trained staff in Tuscana to prepare allergen and gluten-free meals for students . There are vegan and vegetarian options as well .

Transportation

Our campus is conveniently designed so that students do not need to drive between classes in order to get from building to building . . . everything is within walking distance!

Students register their cars through our Safety and Security office and receive a car decal All students are permitted to have a car on campus (even freshmen)

No car? No problem! The City of Lakeland’s bus service, Citrus Connection, ensures students can still get around town as needed . Bus service is available 6-days a week and is free for SEU students (with valid student ID), and we even have a bus stop on campus

Commuter Life

If your student is not going to live on campus and will be commuting, we have specific programming designed just for them to help them get connected with campus life . We also offer lockers in several campus locations so that students can store their belongings in between classes and save extra trips to their car (Students must meet certain eligibility criteria to qualify to live off campus Ask your enrollment counselor for details .)
