    There is a pretty decent selection of food choices on campus. There are two dining halls that are all you can eat, in exchange for one meal swipe. There are also other eating places located in the Union and also small stores called Outtakes which stay open late.

    The food on campus is very good for the most part. There are days when it is not the best, but for the most part, its very delicious. BUDGET YOUR MONEY! If you do not budget your meal plan you will run out before the end of the semester.

    There are too many dining options to list. And when you just want to eat out, that is included in your BG1 Bucks too. The options are really endless.

    Dining halls on campus are great. BG has two all you can eat dining halls that offer nutritious but great tasting food and also a number of places to eat in the Student union including Jamba Juice, Panda Express and Marcos Pizza. The only down side is that most aren't open very late.

    The food is broken into falcon dollars and swipes. Swipes work at Carillon and The Oaks; you swipe your card and eat all you want. Falcon dollars work at the Falcon's Nest, the Sundial and Outtakes and are just like paying with money that is preloaded onto your card like a debit card.

    The food is good, but the swipes do not carry over to the next semester. When the semester is over, whatever you have left just disappears, so your wasting money. The falcon dollars do carry over.

    There are a lot of places to eat whenever a student is hungry. There is also a place where students can buy food that can be seen in places such as Walmart, Kroger, and Mejier.

    The food is alright in moderation, after awhile it gets old. Unless you eat at the oaks, they usually have a lot of new stuff.

    There are a lot of Sororities and Fraternities at Bowling Green, and everyone seems to become one big family.

    Greek life is the best on BG's campus. They offer membership both the first and second semester, so you don't have to decide right away. There are options to visit each sorority/fraternity and get to know everyone before you make your choice. Once you do, you get a whole new family. My fraternity has meant everything to me, and everyone I know feels the same.

    Greek Life is great! Usually the Greek community keeps to itself but they also reach out to the non Greek community! Greek life offers many different chapters to join, activities to do and gives back to the community as much as possible.

    Personally, joining Greek life was the best decision I have made in college. It has helped me to become more outgoing and a better rounded person. There is a place for everyone in Greek life and it is a GREAT way to get involved and raise thousands of dollars for charity.

    When I was there Bowling green had about 17 fraternities and about 13 sororities in the Pan Hellenic Greek council. They have multicultural, business, co-ed and service Greek organizations as well. NPHC is present, but the BG did not have all 9 of the Divine Nine at one time. they tend to have about 6-8 organization in NPHC active at once.

    Amazing Greek life, there is a sorority or fraternity that everyone can fall in love with. Even if you think Greek life isn't for you at least check it out. You will make some great friends.
