    There is a large variety of food. There is something for everyone! Nice to know you are eating REAL food and no that questionable high-school lunchroom food.

    Campus food is decent. We actually have some very good, recognizable restaurants. I am impressed by our food options.

    Great food and great locations. It would be nice if there were healthier choices available to the students on campus.

    The food at BSU is pretty quality, quite the upgrade from high school cafeteria food. There's a few options spread across campus, so they're only busy during lunch hours. But it's never been packed enough for me to be late for my next class. You can also buy meal cards which makes the process even easier!

    The food at the cafeteria, otherwise know as the BRC, is not that grand. they do not offer substitutes for those who have allergens to foods. the diet they veer towards are hamburgers, deep fried steaks, and pastas.

    A little expensive on the meal plan, but great food. Many choices to choose from on and off campus.

    It's like ten minutes walking distance from downtown so I'm sure that leaves food options pretty open. As far as on campus options, from what I've seen and what I've tried, they have several options and they're all pretty good.

    The University offers so many awesome food choices! I am always in a hurry to get lunch and the lines to any places are fast-paced. There are so many different food options.

    I honestly don't know if there are any fraternities or sororities in Boise. If they are, they are very low key.

    There is a great potential for the Greek life at BSU because the Greek life is just starting to grow, so a student can become a founding member of an Greek organization still which is a great accomplishment.

    I was a person that always turned my nose up at Greek life until I researched what it was like at Boise State. The Greek Life at BSU is much smaller than it is at other schools across the nation but it still offers the same benefits. The Greek system operates as one big community/family. We hold ourselves to the same standards if not higher as other schools. Joining a fraternity or sorority is a great way to get involved, form life-long bonds and friendships, and build networks for the future.

    Greek life isn't large at all, but it's growing. When it comes to sororities, we're an Alpha campus, so all of them begin with Alpha. (Alpha Chi, Alpha Zi, Alpha Gama, ect.) They are much more community service based than the typical Greek life you see at large colleges.

    Greek life is something that is just starting to take off at Boise State. As a result, there are many opportunities to get involved. I am not personally involved in Greek life, but those friends I know involved have enjoyed it and are happy they made the decision to pledge, whether it was a social or service fraternity/sorority.

    Greek life is not prominent, but exists and is available for those who want to participate.
