    A buffet style cafeteria that tries to provide homestyle meals form various cultures was a nice idea. Too bad the food kind of sucks. The best items on the menu though, Pizza and cookies. There's one lady on the staff line who needs an attitude check too.

    Unfortunately, the dining at this school is less than favorable to most. They are constantly working to improve the fare and in time it may actually improve. If you're vegan or vegetarian your options are limited.

    The food is kind of awful and horribly overpriced, but they are supposedly changing it so that it is better this year.

    It can get repetitive and missing meal plan hours is the worst. Luckily we are switching to all day cafeteria service.

    the food is good, but sometimes you get tired of eating the same thing. there are multiple stations in our cafeteria that offer a good variety of food, but like i said, sometimes it just gets old. in the sherman area there are a lot of alternative food options.

    Greek life is a big part of Austin College. Me myself, I'm part of Chi Delta Eta. The Greek life will treat you like family and will welcome anyone who they encounter.

    There is great emphasis on Greek Life at this school; which is something that isn't very well known outside of the students who actually go here. Even if you're not interested in this type of thing it is still a wonderful school and there are many other ways to get involved on campus.

    I didn't join a sorority, but I have lots of friends that did. There isn't an awkward tension between Greeks and non-Greeks like there is at some larger schools. Our Greeks are very blended with everyone else and there isn't a lot of pressure to join a sorority/fraternity.
