    The cafeteria at HSU has great variety! There is everything from pizza, salad, sub sandwiches, stir fry, etc. The deserts are also out of this world! They have cookies, cake, ice cream, lemon bars, etc.

    The cafeteria provides average food. Since it's not a huge school, they don't have a great variety of things, but it's okay. The salad bar is excellent with lots of toppings to choose from, the action stations where they make food on the spot is nice, sometimes they have fried rice and pasta which I like. There's the normal comfort food line (think elementary/jr high cafeteria line), a pizza line, hamberger station, action station with a different meal each day which repeats each week, a deli line (similar to Subway. I like going here especially on wrap days when they have different flavored tortillas), they have 2 soups each day, and a desserts section with different desserts and a Blue Bell ice cream freezer. We also have the POD (provisions on demand) which is a section outside the Caf that sells packaged foods and coffee. There is a good variety of fast food/restaurants in Abilene. Sharky's, a burrito place similar to Freebirds or Chipotle, is one of my favs. Rosa's mexican is good too. There's Little Panda, most of the major fast food places you would think of, Chili's, a couple BBQ places, and Texas Roadhouse if you like fancier things :)

    The Cafe is actually really good. There are plenty of varieties in food from the grill to the sandwich line you will always find something you like. On top of that the desserts are the bomb.

    The dining hall is a fun community place to be. I am happy with the selection of food, and the workers are very, very kind and are not hesitant to build a friendly relationship with you.

    I do not eat in the campus cafeteria due to living off campus , however they are constantly trying to keep it affordable for students, healthy and diverse.

    It's all that you could ask for. There is pizza, hamburgers ,and salads.;all sorts of food . The only problem is sometimes the drinks are just water. One of the ladies is a little grouchy.

    The two meals I have in our cafeteria are some of my favorite parts of the day. I have nutritious food, time to relax and hang out with friends, and sometimes a little entertainment. It is always nice to enter such a warm environment where I can stop for a while and eat good food.

    Not a HUGE thing on campus like other schools but the presence is here if you want it! You can be comfortable not being in a frat or sorority but we have some good clubs if you are interested, ranging from less than 20 members to over 50 probably.

    Because this is a private university, the social and service groups are local and unique to Hardin-Simmons along with a few national groups that are academic or service based. While these are organizations are all different, each student can find a group that meets their interests.

    After talking with a friend who was kind enough to show me around campus, she put me in mind of what it takes to be a pledge at HSU. Full of kind and respectful societies, Greek Life at HSU is not easy, but has its rewards.

    Our campus has seven social clubs that are far from the sororities and fraternities seen at many larger schools. Our social clubs focus on the sister and brotherhood of their clubs while serving Christ and others.
