    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.

    The food at Piedmont North is far better than the food the school serves at the freshman hall. However, the food prepared is still just mediocre.

    The dining halls are required for freshman and a nice option for upperclassmen who don't feel like cooking. Also there are tons of restaurants in the area who deliver. My favorite pizza place is Romeos located near the commons. You can order delivery or sit down and eat there, It is so delicious.

    I did not have a meal plan, but I hear the food is pretty good. The restaurants near campus offer a variety and are pretty delicious.

    I don't have a dining plan, but there are tons of restaurants around that are great! There are some good cheap ones around campus, too (which is pretty scattered around downtown).

    Food and Dining at GSU is great. Besides the places to eat in the school, its in the heart of downtown Atlanta so there are many places to eat. At GSU they have a meal plan but you have a choice of having the meal plan or not.

    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.

    Greek life is just now starting to get more popular here. We now have greek housing available on campus.

    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.

    I pledged before arriving at GSU, however the Greek organizations appear to be close knit and they advocate for community service, scholarship and leadership.
