Regan Quinn

I have had elevate for 2 years now, I think the best aspect of it is how convenient it is. Advanced ordering makes everything easier. For UVA, it has almost every place on the corner on the app.

Grant Blumberg

I enjoy elevate as it allows me to conveniently pick up food from my favorite places on the corner. However, sometimes the restaurants take longer than they say they will (mostly Crozet). Also, I wish that the full menu was available at some of the restaurants.

Ryan McCarthy

Fine way to prepay for off campus food. Unsure it’s much of a savings compared with just paying with a more traditional method

Christopher Kozlowski

Elevate's main value proposition is convenience. As a student who does not always have time to cook, especially just for one, Elevate is a good source of meals.

Matthew Neubacher

Elevate Meal Plan is the same price, if not a little cheaper, per meal compared to U'Michigan's standard meal plans. In this economy, why not support your local small businesses that partner with Elevate?

James Gabel

Elevate Meal Plan is a better, healthier, and cheaper alternative to an on-campus meal plan that schools offer. The problem is that there are not many restaurant options.

Bridget May

Elevate makes it easy to get meals on the corner. They offer a lot of options, but it is still pricey for a meal plan.

Hannah Malcolm

Elevate is very convenient for students to use and has a large number of options available. However, sometimes I doubt if I actually save any money.

Mara Hart

Elevate is okay, there are certain shops like Roots or Tropical Smoothie where the value is cheaper than spending your own money, but I don't know if it's worth it to buy the meal packs unless you don't like cooking or you have a lot of time left in college.

Max Russ

Elevate is a great way for college students to get access to food from nearby restaurants, at flexible hours. While many of the offerings aren’t particularly amazing, it is still a nice resource to get food from the restaurants you love as well as find new places in your town.

Skye Southall

Elevate is a good meal plan if you're looking to possibly save money. It also helps organize all of your restaurants in one place. However, not every restaurant participates, and for some of them you can't order in advance. Overall, I think it could potentially help save money but is a bit of hassle to get there.

Liam Varley

Elevate helps me order food when I'm on the way to the library or I just don't feel like cooking. It's super easy to use and pay for.

Julia Yee

Aidan McGowan

Elevate started out good about a year ago, but since then a lot of restaurants have left elevate so I have fewer good options. Also, the restaurants that have stayed have raised their prices, so I am not getting today what I paid for a year ago, which is frustrating.

Reggie Brown

Great service, but a bit costly as the restaurants tailor their menus to take advantage of those who use this plan.

Jaelyn deGuia

Edward Rossman

This is possibly the worst app and meal service to hit Charlottesville ever. It is a large waste of money and half the time you can't even order from restaurants that are open and accepting cash/credit orders. Take your business elsewhere!

Adeline Pratt

Great

Matthew Wright

Cool restaurants around town, but as of right now a good handful of them are not even open and some of them have very specific hours. Not worth getting over VCU's meal plan.

Yuuta Aoki

Convenient in that you can pay in terms of credits however some of the restaurants such as KBG grill are more expensive on the app than paying in cash. So the value savings is not really there unless you would want to limit your appetite and try really hard to order from the same restaurants everyday.

Madeleine Ashby

Elevate is the best meal plan at UVA. All of the options for meal swipes are far better than any dining hall on Grounds, and they're all great value. The wide variety of restaurants available and the deals you get simply cannot be beat.

Mary Duncan

Elevate has something everyone can enjoy. There are many vegan, vegetarian, and dairy free options.

Cooper Yurish

Elevate has some of the best restaurants on the corner and surrounding area. Advanced ordering makes ordering food quick!
