    The dining halls usually have a lot of good options, but the main hall closes down a little bit because of how many people go home over the weekends or eat out.

    There are a lot of campus options when it comes to eating. Whenever I first came here I weighed 100 pounds, and now I weigh 110 pounds. Even though you may think you are eating healthy, most of the food is process and lays heavy in your stomach.

    It's college food. It's not your mom's homemade dinners, but it's not terrible. I have found that other places rather than the large dining hall are great for meals.

    the food is pretty good, I prefer to go to Foster's the main dining hall because they offer a large salad bar and it is buffet style.

    Decent variety of food and dinning choices available around. If you aren't willing to go off campus for food your choices are limited though. There are meal plans for a campus dinning hall and flex options to give you money to spend in the other places around campus. If you are willing to get off campus there are many options. Not many options for late night/early morning though.

    The food here is great, there are so many different options of things to eat, and I never feel like I have to eat the same foods.

    Even though only a small amount of people participate in traditional Greek life, there are other options that can boost your resume like Phi Eta Sigma, the Freshman National Honor Society.

    There are a bunch for frats and sororities mostly on the edge of campus. Some are just for partying, some are academic, and some are for sports. Just depends what your into.

    Make sure you ask around about reputations of frats and sororities before joining one! Some are rather infamous.

    There is a huge portion of Greek life if interested in it, but the Greek life does not dominate the entire campus, like they do in other big schools. The Greek life here offers both academic groups and social groups.
