Some of the nicest people working at Florida State University are the staff of the Suwannee Room. The Suwannee Room is the largest dining hall on campus, and during the Summer for Undergraduates program it is often open just for us. The food is great, but the people are better.
Yesterday at lunch, one of the managers there overheard the students talking about going out for a birthday party (One of the SUG students turned 21 today). So last night, he had a pink and white birthday cake prepared when the student came in for dinner. We all yelled, "Surprise!" when she came in, and then sang "Happy Birthday" to her.
The students got the staff of the Suwannee Room to pose with them for pictures, and the staff let us hang around and talk with each other after the food lines had closed down and they began cleaning.
I eat almost all of my meals at the Suwannee Room during the school year. The staff is very hard working, yet they also remain friendly despite the huge throngs of students who flow in demanding food.
Today, they are staying open for lunch later than normal to accommodate our students who will be coming out of a practice Law School Admission Test (LSAT). For me, dining at the Suwannee Room has been one of the nicer experiences as a law school student at Florida State.
