    The rooms are a nice size, but they are old and kinda falling apart, the bathrooms are not cleaned well. There are separate girl and boy hallways, but there is no doors stopping girls or boys from walking down each others halls.

    The food is a hit and miss. One day the Cafe will serve something terrible then the next day turn around and serve a great meal. No matter how bad the meal is, there is always the option for fruit and a salad bar. The hive (after Cafe is closed) gets old pretty quick seeing how there are only about 5 things on the menu, but its not that bad

    The staff that serves the food is amazing, i am a vegetarian and they have always made extra effort for me. The food is almost always good, and warm.

    Here at defiance, we have nice size cafeteria where the main breakfast, lunch, and dinner are held. There is plenty of food here. There are a few different options for vegetarians but they are still working to increase those options. There is a board where if you want you can put in your opinion on what could be served one day. If it is popular then it will get served more frequently.

    The food on campus really isn't that bad. The simple fact is it's cafe food and it gets boring eventually. They always have a good variety though and offer vegetarian alternatives. The food around town is great. It's a small town, but there are a lot of choices to eat out at.

    There are two sororities, one fraternity, and a co-ed fraternity. Sigma Sigma Sigma is more of a service sorority while Alpha Xi Delta is more social. The fraternity Phi Sigma Chi helps each other become better individuals and wants to see each other succeed in life.
