    There are so many great places to eat off-campus that you might not want to eat on-campus. Many places are within walking distance of the school and there is plenty of variety.

    The dining halls and the food are okay. I mean it is better then a high school's suggestion of food, but it is definitely no cuisine either.

    I'm satisfied with what CSUN has to offer food-wise. I can get a veggie burger in 2 places, I love the soup, the PB+J's, the coffee and tea, the yogurt and muffins, etc. There are a couple things most people avoid, like the ready-made, dry-as-all-hell pitas, but other than that I'm good.

    Our on campus coffee joint is not very good, despite costing more than the Starbucks across the street.

    Most people don't really care about the sororities and fraternities. The people I know that are in sororities and fraternities seem to not enjoy it. Overall the Greeks go pretty unnoticed.

    Well. I don't participate in the normal, extremely expensive, annoyingly heteronormative, amazingly huge organizations in the greek world. I am a part of Gamma Rho Lambda, a queer social sorority that is about 5 years old or so. We are a small family, but I think it better to be that way, even though gossip goes around easily. We're doing our best to stay afloat, and next semester my sister and I are in charge of rush--and it's going to be fun no matter what it takes. I'm determined to see my org flourish while I'm here.

    If you want to expand your connections, becoming Greek is a great way to begin. You'll become part of a large student population and will be aware of many events; such as parties, fundraisers, sports games, philanthropy events, etc. Don't join a house just because they're the best one, but choose a house that you feel most comfortable with.

    I am a member of a greek organization and it has been one of the best decisions I have made during my collegiate experience. The community supports Greek life and the campus faculty attend our fundraisers and philanthropy events to show support!

    Sororities and Fraternities on campus are also very active, although I'm not a part of one, I always hear great things about them from my friends.

    Depending on what sorority or fraternity you go into it can really make a difference on your college life. You do not really hear about greeks, only during their rush week, or sometimes for their parties. But, some are more focused on their philanthropy and studies.

    From what I've heard, the Greek Life on campus is very fun and welcoming to everyone.
