  • May-02-2013 I am accepted here and planning to attend soon

    Unlimited food for roughly $2000 a semester. It can be easily worth it if you make it worth it. The food is average, sometimes it is better than others.

    The dining hall is food one must get used to. Meal plans are not only offered to resident students but also commuters. There is also a food court in the student center that students may eat at.

    You will hear a lot about Sodexo, which is the campus food supplier. They don't make the most amazing food but everyone always finds a favorite at the dining hall. And they have a lot of restaurants around campus like subway, froyo, Chinese, pizza, and other places that accept Bluechip. Bluechip is your school ID that also can be used like a debt card. This makes it easy during ordering so that you don't have to have money on you at all times. They also offer vegan and vegetarian dining. And keep soy milk in a fridge for students.

    There is the Devil's Den, which is like a huge cafeteria. There are many different options available everyday. In addition, we have Memorial Hall for on campus residents. This is a buffet style place that serves tasty food. There are many nearby locations, such as Dominos pizza or FroyoWorld, that you can visit or have deliver food.

    The cafeteria food available mainly to people who dorm and have meal plans isn't that good. But there is a whole cafeteria in the student center where anyone can purchase food from one of five restaurants that carry almost anything you could want, just a bit pricey.

    Food variety is lacking. The dining hall is open at strange hours, too. Overall quality of the food isn't too bad.

    on tuesdays and thursdays are mainly pasta, if i were you, its best to find your spot to sit before getting your food. some of the students wont say excuse me when they bump into you or pass you or cut in front of you. they'll change varieties of different pizzas which is cool.if you get tired of eating at the devils den or memorial hall, you can go to other food places next to the campus on stanley st. REMEMBER certain food places allows bluechip.

    None really, there is sorority's you can join but it's more of a club. The people don't live together in a house or anything, they just meet every week and host occasionally events.

    I am not involved in Greek life on campus. I know of a girl who did get involved in sorority life and she really seems to love it. Frats and Sororities are not a huge part of Central life, but there is definitely activity in case you are interested!
