    Brigham Young University has the busiest Subway in the United States which isn't surprising when there are 30,000 undergrad students. The food and dining is great, fast and easy all while providing the students with a variety of options from Subway to Jamba Juice.

    I haven't ever eaten at the Cannon Center, but the Cougar eat has some really good food. My only complaint is that some of the food can be kind of expensive, but it's good quality, so well worth it.

    There are lots of opportunities for certain dorms. But in others you have to pay extra if you want to eat in different places on some nights.

    There are tons of options around campus-- a variety of food and lots of locations. You're bound to find something in budget and close by no matter where you are on campus.

    Meal plans are available in all dorms. If you don't want to cook for yourself, there are complexes without kitchens and with easy cafeteria access. If you do want to cook for yourself, there are complexes with kitchens, too.

    There are tons of little restaurants around town for you to explore from the traditional to exotic to just quirky (there's a place that sells only specialty waffles, for example). Be sure to try a hot dog from J-Dawg's before leaving or you'll have missed out.

    The food in the Cougar Eat is very yummy. There is a ton of variety at decent prices. The BYU Creamery is famous for its delectable ice cream. Be sure to hit it up!

    BYU is not affiliated with an sororities or fraternities except for the prestigious Phi Kappa Phi fraternity. This is a prestigious group only the top of the junior and senior class or excelling professors get invited into.
