    The food here is good for a college campus. The J dining hall gives you the best value for your food, but is the lowest quality. If you can help it, get a bigger meal plan than you would expect you need, because the portions here tend to be small.

    The J- the place to go if you are on a meal plan. Food is relatively good most of the time. Acts as a cafeteria. Limited hours. The Depot-Upbeat atmosphere, but can get pricey. Offers burritos by the pound, sandwiches, rice bowls, pizza and more. Generally closes by 5. Marketplace-A little like a grocery store, cheaper then the depot, but more expensive then the J. Open until midnight. The cupboard chub-board the place to go for late night snacks if you live in the older dorms open past midnight. All of these offer on campus work study job opportunities.

    The J, or Jolly Giant Commons was pretty good. It had a huge variety of food, complete with vegetarian and vegan options. They recently remodeled their salad bar and grill and incorporate a rainbow of fresh fruits and vegetables as well. There is also the Depot where you can get more expensive foods, and also the South Campus Market. The market is more of a convinece store if you are a freshman and cannot make it to say Target or CVS.

    I work on campus at one of the dining locations and I see the work that the staff does in order to provide good, healthy food for the students. Of course, there is also a lot of snacks available for those who wish it. There is also a lot of choices for vegans and vegetarians. HSU is a place that certainly does its best to accommodate the students.

    There are plenty of options food wise at this school. If you are vegan or vegetarian, you won't have a hard time finding a meal. If you eat meat, same deal. The overall quality of food is good too.

    the frats and sororities that do exist have little to no involvement in campus life and are practically non-existent.

    Small but close knit. Many are highly involved in community service, putting on academic workshops and other events.
