    The caf right now doesn't always have the highest quality food. However, Belmont is currently building a new Dining Hall which is said to be completed in 2015. There are plenty of other good on campus and close to on campus eating options as well.

    The Caf is a great place to eat and socialize. The food is pretty good. I do get tired of it though by the week's end.

    Dining hall is hit and miss; sometimes food is exceptional, other times it is plain disgusting. Has a cereal rack, salad bar, drink stations, dessert table, international station (food from other countries), deli, hamburger & fries, and main entree for lunch and dinner so you have options.

    The food is okay. The caf has its good days, but Belmont has a bruin bucks system where you can spend school money on your id at local restaurants; Helpful when you don't want to spend money at the caf.

    Some people say they get sick from eating in the caf, but let's be honest; it doesn't matter where your thrice daily meals of fries and pizza come from, you're going to feel sick. A good rule to follow is that if you don't know what goes into it, don't eat it. The salad bar is always fresh and has great options. Also, if you don't eat gluten or meat or have some other dietary concern, there are lots of choices to make it easier to be healthy.

    I'm not a sorority girl by any means, and at first I was nervous I would be the only one, but I'm not! The sororities and fraternities at Belmont are a little tamer than at a big party school, and I have lots of friends in all of the sororities and fraternities, so they're not excluding to people who just aren't the Greek type.

    Greek life is like no other university. Belmont's fraternities and sororities have a different reputation, an really uphold the values of the University.

    There are several Fraternities and several Sororities as well. They make up a pretty big part of the student life, by organizing events of their own and also events for those not in an organization.
