    The food at Southern is amazing. There are 5 original restaurants as well as Chick Fil A, Einstein's Bagels and Starbucks all on campus. The meal plan is reacquired for Freshmen which is nice to not have to go grocery shopping all the time.

    The food and dining my freshman year (last year) was very good. We have a chick-fil-a, Einstein's, Starbucks, and 2 different Cafes plus little sandwich shops all throughout campus. This year they have torn down 2 of the cafeterias and are rebuilding them to be great next year. Off campus there are many other options to eat. You will not go hungry in Statesboro.

    There are several dining locations on campus. Beginning Fall 2013, the meal plans are changing from the traditional 3, 6, 10, 15, and 19 meal plans to unlimited Lakeside and Landrum with a limited amount of Dining Dollars to spend at other locations and a limited number of guest passes to Lakeside and Landrum. I have enjoyed the meal plan that I had this year, but I have to wait and see what it is like beginning next year.

    Greek life is a very large part of this University. If you are interested in Greek life I highly recommend you come here because it is taken very seriously at Southern.

    Great for NON-National Pan-Hellenic Council greek life, not much NPHC present on campus. If you do see NPHC it will be the AKAs and Alphas.

    Greek life is a big part of campus but if you are not apart of Greek Life its not a bad thing. I didn't rush my freshman year and I felt left out at first , but by the end of the year it did not bother me. I just think its a very good idea.
