    We have just installed a Chic-Fila and a Subway into our student center. We have the Conrad hall and the Village café to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at. We also are in the center of Dover so we have many restaurants surrounding our school.

    Delaware State University is getting Subway and a Chic-Fil-A on campus. The other dining halls on campus offer a variety of food including, pizza, salad bar, cooked meals, sandwiches, etc. With all these food varieties, one must be aware of the freshman fifteen!

    The food for the most part is tolerable. They serve different types of food and there is salt available if one needs seasoning. One can also eat multiple plates of food.

    Greek life has been a huge input on DSU campus. A Lot of freshman are more appalled by the Greek life then any other organizations on campus. The Greeks tend to put a lot of work on campus as far as events, fundraisers, donations, and step shows.

    The Greek life is cool too. I am not a part of the Greek life, but I do know that they make campus life fun as well. They have shows and parties all of the time.
