    The food here is good. Just like every institution you attend you will eventually get tired of it. But the school provides a wide variety of choices and they always have healthy vegetarian options.

    The food is disgusting! Plan on bringing a fridge and going grocery shopping regularly if you want to eat. After awhile the cafe and sub shop are unbearable.

    There are two dining options at Fisk University, which is the cafe and the sub shop. The menu's are very tasteful. However, a rigorous schedule may conflict with cafe hours and will land you a meal in the shop. Since the sub shop is a hamburger/sub sandwich home, it is not the ideal place for a balanced meal.

    The food is yummy most of the time and if you get tired of the cafeteria food we have a pretty decent sub shop where you can order burgers, sub sandwiches, fries, chicken nuggets.....etc.

    I enjoy the cafeteria most of the time. There could be a little more variety but other than that Thompson Hospitality is satisfying. *Sidenote: the pizza is good lol.

    Depends on the Greek, but most of the sororities/ fraternities aren't active on campus.
