    There are so many different places to dine on campus from Einstein Brothers Bagels to our Rowdy rooster or the all-you-can-eat buffet at Hicks. (Just to name a few) There will always be somewhere to satisfy your taste buds.

    The campus is definitely trying to expand food options. They have an all you can eat dining hall that serves its best food at orientation, but the food is just okay after that. CINO and UP cafe have some pretty awesome food, but the rest of the places on campus you either have to pay to eat or use the universitity dining dollars.

    There are several on campus dining halls and food plans a student can select from. Each meal plan offers a certain amount of meal swipes per week, and with that, a ration of dining dollars that may be spent at dining establishments on campus such as Java City and Subway. Commuter students have the option to purchase a commuter meal plan and all on campus students are required to purchase a meal plan as they sign up for housing. There are many options to pick from on campus such as buffet style dining and deli choices.

    Greek life is definitely present at coastal, and is also where a lot of the parties stem from. In the first few weeks of campus, they are all out advertising at club recruitment day. But, the university doesn't necessarily recognize them, and they do not have their own houses.

    There are several fraternities and sororities one may partake in at CCU. Quite a few of them are special interest based, but others are open ended for those who just wish to join a group. There are also honor societies that are represented by the Greek letters, such as Phi Eta Sigma, a prestigious honorary.

    We have Greek life here, I personally am not associated with it, therefore I cannot comment on it, both sororities and fraternities are present.
