Campus Life

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have snacks or other food in your room. However, Soul Food Thursday is always good, usually.

Horrible for the amount we pay for it.

There are two dining halls at Howard and convenience stores as well as a cafe, food court, and restaurants right on the main street of campus. There are a variety of food options, and they strive to accommodate everyone.

The school cafeteria serves a lot of the same food throughout the school year. It definitely gets tiring after the first semester, but seeing as most students don't have money to eat off campus, the cafe is all you can eat!

Good food gets old after a while, but you can buy some rather than going to the caf if need be.

I would say the food at Howard is not the best, at all. I am not a fan of the food but I make the best of it. I will say that they do offer a lot of options and they cater to the needs of different individuals. My personal preference is just to not eat in the cafeteria.

Howard has a relatively well-stocked café with the usual pizza, burger, and taco lines, along with a â??home styleâ?? line as well. My personal favorites are the soups and the highly-acclaimed Soulfood Thursdays. There is another food court-style café called â??The Punchoutâ?? that uses university â??dining dollars,â?? that can be purchased, and come with most meal plans. A personal favorite there is the freshly-prepared sushi.

The food at Howard University I have to say becomes very repetitive unfortunately. There is a hamburger and hotdog grill that is open everyday any time of the day except breakfast that is good for your good quick and go meal. But Howard does have a classics line that serves food somewhat similar to soul food and sometimes fish and spaghetti, not that bad. But luckily if one gets sick of the Cafeteria, they can head to the punch out and purchase either Chinese food, pasta, pizza, sandwiches, wings and many other tasty dishes with their Bison one card.

Howard's food and dining service are lackluster. The food is only good sometimes, there are several instances where students have been diagnosed with food poising and the meal plans are quite expensive.

There is a lot of places to choose from at Howard plus the DC dining scene does not disappoint. There is even a Soul food Thursday.

You would think there would be fraternities and sororities on the yard everyday or more often than they were this year. Greek Life is about a 7 out of 10.

At Howard you do not talk about these things.

HUGE part of the Howard experience. Howard has several alpha chapters (founding chapters) of Greek organizations such as Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, and Omega Psi Phi. You will see Greeks and hear about them all the time, but if you plan to pledge you will need to know people on the inside and inquire quietly. It is a sacred process.

Being that five of the â??Divine Nineâ?? Black Greek organizations were founded on Howardâ??s campus, Greek life is very present here. The Neo-Stroll, Greek step show, and various coming out ceremonies are highly-attended, with each of the Nine making their presence known through parties, community service, campus talks and events year round.

Greek Life is very big on Howard's campus! It is something that goes very unspoken around campus but they are known for making very big influence around campus.

Howard's greek life is a major part of it's legacy and is extremely profound. There are many career related fraternities and The Divine Nine are also located and originated at Howard.

Top notch

SHHHHH!!! Howard is the home of African American Greek Life.

Howard is the MECCA for Greek Life. Almost all of the Black N.P.H.C. Greek Letter Organizations were founded right here at Howard University. That being said, there is a STRONG tradition of Greek life that's been intertwined with the everyday function of the university.

Fraternities and Sororities have frequently been suspended in the past, there are 9 historically black fraternities and sororities and several professional ones too.
