    i was excited at the fact that the cafeteria is a buffet when i started school, but now i barely feel like going. they serve the same food everyday. they try to get creative with the desserts sometimes. and they'll have special dinners like Mardi Gras or Nugget Night. when i compared the dinings halls here to my friends it just made these halls even worse. there's two dining halls and they're both in the high class dorms. Knight is the bigger one. Foster closes at 6 and Knight closes at 7.

    Everybody thinks that any food that comes out of a cafeteria is gross and has some kind of mystery meat aspect about it. At Alabama A&M, however, there is a variety of of options in the cafe. They even offer vegetarian options for lunch and dinner. I would advise you though, especially incoming freshmen, to get food for your room. There will be days that you will not want to walk down to the cafe considering how crazy the weather gets on The Hill. Some dorms don't allow refrigerators or microwaves, but usually the dorm will have one for everyone to use.

    The food is good. They have a variety, but the variety is the same everyday. The food does not settle with your stomach at all. There is only one on-campus eatery that is call the Greasy Spoon. It's on the female side of campus and really isn't convenient. There aren't many places to eat unless you have a vehicle.

    The food is okay, it isn't as much healthy. But there's a line not a long weight. Also i guess during registration period boys & girls eat in the same cafeteria.

    The Greeks are very much alive and well on campus. Appropriately named ESW, or Every Sunny Wednesday, is where you will see most of the Greeks. This event is on-campus right by the bookstore from 12pm-2pm. You will see not only Greeks, but Non Greeks as well. Both types of organizations host events, especially around homecoming week. As a freshman, you won't be able to pledge until your sophomore year, but don't let that deter you from still becoming a member of a Non Greek organization.

    Greek life isn't something I partake in but friends I have say it's fun. Especially if you're outgoing and love to meet new people.
