    Food is based on money value. Everything is way over price. There are a lot of options and dining locations.

    Love the food at Hofstra. There are so many choices from an Organic Grille and Asian Kitchen, to a California Pizza Kitchen and Au Bon Pain. There is also a bunch of choices for off campus food. Most people stay on track with their meal plans but you can always add more to it. It is an a la carte style eatery, so you pay per item.

    There is a variety of choices dining wise on both sides of campus where any and everyone can find something they like, some of which are open pretty late for when you need that late night study snack. There are also several off campus choices not too far.

    All of the dining facilities on campus are welcoming and easily accessible. the only problem to me is that dutch treats is closed on the weekends. other than that all of the dining facilities have great food an variety.

    Personally I am very happy with the food at Hofstra. There are many options all around campus. There is an Au Bon Pain where you can get soup and sandwhiches, an Indian restaurant, an Chinese restaurant, a Sushi restaurant, an Italian restaurant...California Pizza Kitchen, a Gourmet Salad stand, a Kosher restaurant, an organic restaurant, Subway, Nathans and a place to get burritos and burgers. I have been able to fill a craving everyday, there is always food available at Hofstra. There are also plenty of options for those who are Vegan or Vegetarian. Bon Appetite.

    There are multiple places to eat on Hofstra's campus and many choices of food to choose from. However, if students get tired of the food on campus, there are some restaurants nearby.

    Statistics says Greek life is not very big. The presence of Fraternities and Sororities on campus is huge. Getting involved in Greek life is really fun.

    If you are looking for the type of fraternity/sorority life you see in movies, Hofstra might not be the best choice. Lower your expectations slightly and you'll have a lot of fun.

    Greek life is very friendly. They participate in not only making lifetime friendships but providing connections for job opportunities, internships, and making the community a better place for those that live in it.

    There are many different Sororities and Fraternitres on campus, each with their own interests. I'm sure many people would want to join.

    My suite mates are a part of Greek life at Hofstra and love it. They are very active in their sororities. Greek life is full of excitement and charitable effort from what I have seen.
