    Ferris currently has two restaurants that are covered by the meal plan. The Rock is famous throughout Michigan for a good reason.

    Food options are great! That being said, no matter what the food, there comes a time when it can get boring. Try other foods. Every now and then, allow for an occasional meal off campus. Make sure to have snacks, etc. in your dorm room. You may need to grab something quick, if you have early classes. Make sure you eat!

    The food at our two dining facilities are wonderful. It tastes really good, and there is a lot of variety. However the campus is very big and there are a lot of students, and there just isn't enough room in out two dining facilities.

    I have been in both the rock and west view on guest passes and west view I was not impressed at all but the rock was a lot better because I like have everything is cooked right in front of you and the variety.

    Greek life is amazing, I am apart of a professional fraternity. Lambda Alpha Epsilon is the Criminal Justice fraternity. Like every fraternity or sorority, they need to give back to their community. Which all of our Fellow greeks do. We even made an event that originally started as just greeks do it, it's The Big Event. We go around to someones house and help them fix it or clean it. It's an all day event.
