    The food is better than traditional campus dining. Also the chef, if you would like to call him that, does try to come up with creative new choose. There is also a Starbucks and sushi bar located in the cafeteria.

    The food is not bad; it is a little overpriced (but it is Columbia, after all) and you can easily go off campus to get nearby food.

    I think they could use more Vegan options, but over all everyone will find something they can eat. There are options for healthier meals and quick meals.

    The food at HCC is amazing. They have soup, fresh made sandwiches, sushi, pizza, chicken, vegetables, burgers, and best of all a Starbucks. There is always something different in the cafeteria which is nice. The food at HCC is inexpensive and easily accessible from every building.

    there isn't much of a greek life unless you sign up to be a phi theta kappa, and that's only used for academic achievements. but, if you want to stand out from the transfer crowd, and you have the grades for it, then definitely try to be one. it'll help you in the long run if you want some money.
