    The cafeteria is very popular, but the food is expensive and for those of us who live alone and completely support ourselves it is a waste of money and also bad nutrition.

    Their food is alright , its like any other food you buy in the store or a fast food restaurant . but there is more options near by if you don't want to eat from the C.O.D. cafeteria .

    I found most of the food from the cafe at the College to be the quality of food you would expect in a fast food chain. This can be either good or bad news depending on your eating habits. Either way, everything is ridiculously, down-right expensive. $3.00 for a miniscule plastic box of fruit?...Really?

    Unclear on any Greek clubs or singular Greek activity. Although our theatre did have five Liebeslieder singers who acted as a Greek chorus throughout the show.
