    The food, admittedly, is iffy. One day you're eating quality food, the next you have on your plate something like mystery meat. You really can't have 100% in the food here.

    Freshman and sophomore year the food is pretty bad and you are required to get unlimited food plans, however, the food not much different than other universities. There is a second dinning hall that is targeted for more of the older students who have block food plans and there is more of a variety of food there.

    The Pryz could be better, but it could be a lot worse! :-) If you really have had it, you could always go into D.C. If you can't find something there, then you are to blame! :-)

    There is a variety of food to choose from and most of the food I have had on campus is good, such as the chili, tacos, and ethnic dishes, and the quality is moderate. Overall, the food and dining area are satisfactory, but sometimes the plates are not the cleanest.

    To be 100% honest, the food at the Pryz (the main hub of the school) is not exactly amazing. There is no one to blame for the less-than-excellent quality of the food, so one should not discourage their hopes of school simply for this.

    The cafeteria is less than stellar, but the unlimited meal plan for freshman and sophomores goes a long way!

    Horrible. There a few frats but the sororities tend to make more of an appearance. From what I've heard, sororities tend to be lots of drama.
