    Cafeteria was shut down a couple of times due to rats and much of the food is overpriced.

    Food is rather pricey at Hunter College, so is the neighborhood surrounding it. I encourage students to bring food from home.

    Vending machines on every floor of the West building although cafetria food can get a bit pricey, but Manhattan serves a great amount of affordable and delicious places to eat.

    I wouldn't recommend joining any of the frats or sororities. They hang out too much and you are better off studying and just joining a regular club after school.

    There is some Greek Like if you're into it, but it's not a great scene at Hunter. Hazing and the negative aspects of Greek Life do not exist at Hunter. Fraternities and Sororities at Hunter mainly consist of nice, fun, and compassionate people.
