Student Responses to Review Topic: Food And Dining

    Food is usually decent, just can become a bit repetitive. Modeco is good for breakfast and Flatz, a quesadilla place, is a good spot for late night munchies.

    There are several places to eat on campus that you can use your meal plan and dine dollars for. These include the cafeteria, a wrap and salad place, a grill, a pizza place, a convenience-type store, and a new southern-style food truck. Off campus, there are multiple places to eat, including Subway, Quiz-no's, Spuds, and Madre's Mexican.

    The food here is really good. You have a variety of different options. Certain places are opened late so you can get food still. The cafeteria is nice and spacious and there's all different types of foods.

    Campus dining can be complicated, and may at some times seem like it is not worth the meal plan, but it is also very convenient. Just be wary of common hours on campus when everyone may be in a rush to eat at once, or after a sports team gets done practicing and immediately eats afterward. These times can be hectic and more trouble than they are worth, but the average student should never have too tight a schedule to not get meals during the day. Sometimes the food can be sketchy, but beggars cannot be choosers.

    Some of their food is okay, but it's very overpriced. The good stuff is only available from like 9-6 Monday through Friday so that sucks.

    Cal U has a variety of places to grab a bite to eat at. Either on campus or off you can always find something to have. Th Rush is the on campus cafe and it provides everything you could possibly think of.

    There are many different options for dining and they make it all in front of you. One of them is like an all-you-can-eat buffet. The food is really good, but hey, if you don't like homemade food you can always go to the convenience stores that they have in the union or the many snack machines and drink machines. There is even a coffee machine.

    While I do not associate with Greek Life, I know plenty of Brothers and Sisters. Greek Life is fun and fulfilling and provides an instant sense of community. However, in the Graphic Design Major, we are usually too busy to have time to actually pledge to a Greek Society. I think there are less than ten Graphic Design Majors that are also in a Fraternity/Sorority, but that is just because our program is so intensive and comprehensive. Greek Life is encouraged at CalU through organization fairs and Greek Week.
