    The food is nothing special. I'm pretty sure Harcombe gave me food poisoning on two separate occasions though.

    I've visited many other universities and I have to say Clemson's dining is pretty awesome in comparison. There are so many options that everyone can be satisfied. Seriously, I know a vegan who couldn't even complain.

    Eh, food gets old after a while. You have to branch out and eat somewhere like Cookout or Zaxby's to keep sane. You WILL get sick of pizza. I promise.

    There's variety, there's edible food, but at the end of the day, they are making food for thousands of kids. Learn the rush times and go around them; it leads to superior food quality and taste as well as a much more pleasant staff.

    The dining hall has a wide variety of food. They change the food choices every day so it doesn't get boring. As freshman, we have to get a meal plan. It isn't so bad since we aren't allowed to have cooking appliances other than a microwave in our dorm rooms.

    Dominant. Sometimes it seems like everyone here is Greek and they are very public about their events. Attendance at these events is incredibly exclusive.

    I would never have thought I would join a sorority prior to college, but honestly it was one of the best decisions of my life. Great people and great memories.

    Im a member of Greek Life here and its not cliquey. Many of my best friends are in other fraternities/sororities or not in one at all.

    I'd say there's probably around a 1000 people affiliated in greek life? It's everywhere but you definitely DON'T have to join to make friends or feel complete

    I, personally, am a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity on campus. Ask about us, we're well known around campus and around the world. As for Greek life in general, over 30% of students here are involved in Greek Life.

    I am not personally in a sorority/fraternity. I do know people that are in such organizations who dearly enjoy the opportunities and parties that are a part of this experience.

    I am not apart of a greek fraternity, but from what my friends say, the fraternities are a lot of fun. Throughout the year, the fraternities will host events and bring numerous artists to sing at the college.
