    Everyone at DeSales complains about the food, but in all honesty, it is probably A LOT better than most schools. The dining really is not that bad.

    There are so many options. My favorite food here is the macaroni and cheese! There are daily changing menus, as well as fresh fruit, salad bar and deli constants.

    The food is fair. I am used to my mother's home cooked meals, so it is fair, but they do give you a lot of food per meal, so you will not be hungry.

  • Jul-16-2012 I am a current student here

    No Greek life is on campus. It is thought of as cliques and will separate the school. Which could be true, but it is true that the university is truly a Uni-versity, one body of a vast amount of people.
