    The dining hall at this school good as far as the service goes, but the food quality is just average. It is a buffet style setup, with food from all over the world, but the problem is that it is not very good. The daily specials and soups are pretty good, but you'll probably get sick of the dining hall in a few months. To be fair, i think its the same in every school because nothing beats a home cooked meal.

    The food is pretty good if you don't have to eat there so much! They could use a variety, but hey, its all you can eat! They have a Dining Hall that serves all you can eat buffet, a grocery store for those who cook in their homes or dorms, The Sub next to the book store which is the coolest hang out spot during the day, and The Kat and the Rat pub and eatery for your sweet tooth and fried cravings.

    The dining hall is great! The food, the atmosphere, and the people are a perfect blend for the school. I couldn't ask for a better atmosphere.

    The food here is delicious and you have a wide range in the Panther Dining Hall. Its served buffet style so you can just keep getting food as much as you want. Or you can go down to The Rat or The Kat for some smoothies, shakes, pizza, or food from the grill.

    Greek life is pretty average here. The parities are good at first, but once you realize it is always the same people at every party, you tend to get over it. The parties are well organized though, and they are fun if you go once in a while.

    Not a very big Greek Life, but then again, it isn't a very big school. There are plenty of fraternities to choose from for the boys, including the more famous ones like Pike, Delts, and Tike. However, the sororities are a bit lacking. We only have 3: Alpha Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, and Phi Sigma Sigma.

    I can not say enough good things about the Greek Life here. No hazing, I recently went through the recruitment and initiation process and it was a life changing experience. I will not tell you my letters but I recommend everyone to try out Greek Life.
