    There are two dining halls on this campus, and a food court in the University Center. As well a diverse quantity and quality of restaurants spread all over campus.

    Many restaurants are located on campus, but many more are scattered around it. The variety phenomenal, but can be pricey if your on a budget.

    This was the one problem with dorming. If you lived in Freshman Hall or Piedmont you had to purchase the meal plan and the food was not very good. Everyone complained about the food and the meal plan was too expensive for what we got out of it.

    The good thing about GSU being located in the heart of Atlanta is that in addition to the (quite good) food options on campus, you are also in very close proximity to any number of restaurants, cafes, and eateries in Atlanta.

    Greek life is not the usual Greek life here as it is at a big school. There are not big houses on fraternity lane or sorority row. It is just a little area in a courtyard where they have town homes set up. The Greek life will hopefully be improved soon with the renovations they are going to make to the college.

    It exists, but I don't know much about it - doesn't interest me. The only thing I do know is that if you're choosing your college based primarily on Greek life, you probably wouldn't choose GSU.

    Greek Life is not too prominent since there aren't Greek houses only a few Greek dorms. People still do it though.

    There are tons of Greek Life opportunities at Georgia State University. From Multi-Cultural organizations, to Pan-Hellenic Organizations.

    The Greek life is pretty dormant. They don't show up for many events or host many events besides at the very beginning of the year.

    Not really familiar with myself and the Greek Life. All I can say is if you're interested, go for it because I'm not stopping you from joining.
