On my meal plan, it says I have $550 freedom dollars. I am assuming that is the same as flex dollars. is it? and also, can i spend flex/freedom dollars on campus, or only off campus?

You can use them both on and off campus. The only places off-campus that I know of that take them are Gino's Pizza and Boston Pizza.

Flex can only be used on-campus. Freedom can be used off-campus (1280 is considered off-campus)

East Side Mario's, Boston Pizza and Gino's is where I spent all my flex money but you should also be able to use it on campus.
