    Our food has got to be some of the best in the country. We have a five star steak house to assist our students with real life etiquette and communication. We also have an organic buffet called the farmers market that brings in local grown fruits and vegetables. My favorite is the bistro, which does daily specials such as sushi and noodle bowls.

    There are a lot of places on campus, and nearby, for you to eat. The dining hall is okay but tends to have the same things everyday. There are places off campus that you can use your High Point card to buy meals.

    The food for the most part is good. They have many different options of places to eat. The only problem is most close by eight and even then they take the food away before then.

    There is one place called The Great Day Bakery that is HPU's own little Panera Bread. Also, The Point, is a campus favorite. It has so many T.V.s it's ridiculous. Many people gather in there until 2:00am when it closes to watch games and eat. There is also a cafe, Subway, Starbucks, and Chick-fil-A on campus!

    Food and dining at High Point University is incredible! There are several food options, including three all-you-can-eat style restaurants, two Starbucks, Chick-fil-a, Subway, a Sports Grill, and a four star Steak House, which is a favorite among students. The faculty is all very personable and they interact with the students on a daily basis. Students become familiar with the dining faculty and some are on a first-name basis.

    Greek life on campus is always doing fundraisers for all kinds of associations or for them to do a type of volunteer work. They had t-shirt tie-dying one night! It was only five dollars. Also, recruitment doesn't start until January so you have plenty time to decide if you want to be a part of Greek life and which one.

    From what I hear, Greek life always has something going on. We have probably between ten or twenty Greek organizations, so if you plan on going Greek you will definitely have a choice.

    This is a huge part of our campus and a good majority of the people you meet will be involved. There are greek houses on campus, located in greek village with it's own pool and area to hold activities.
