    Student dinning hall, Panther dinning, is typical cafeteria food nothing special. Has a lot of the normal fast food places on campus, Chick-Fil-A, Burger King, Moes, Pollo Tropical, Chilli's, Duncan Dounts, and Papa Johns

    The food is prepared in bulk and cooked in individual portions. You have to have a cast iron stomach to hold the majority of it down. The taste quickly depletes after the first two weeks. Even the chain restaurants do not have the same delicious flare as their off campus branches.

    FIU has a ton of places to eat! So many in fact that you will probably be undecided every time you want to go eat!

    The main cafeteria of the school, Fresh Foods, offer a new selection of meals daily but it's better to eat at the restaurants and fast food places, as long as you have a strict budgeting plan.

    The food is okay. The cafeteria serves mostly junk food so if you are in to eating healthy, the cafeteria may not be for you.

    Fresh gets tiring by the end of the year with repetitive food options. The food is of low quality and is overcooked and cold occasionally. The other on campus food options are great including Subway, Sushi Maki, Miro's, Burger King, Chili's Too...

    The Greek Life here isn't very strong. You don't see them do much on campus, and there are only 3 houses.

    There are many fraternities and sororities to choose from. The biggest being Fiji. Their houses are enormous!

    Cannot comment, because I am not part of it. But, I know people who are and they love it. They are also very involved and very good students.
