    Food is usually good, sometimes it needs a little changing up. I do wish that there could be other fruit besides melon, but there are apples and oranges.

    The food is the same as every other college, after so long you will eventually become tired of eating it.

    Only one actual cafeteria on campus, but lots of different stations (including a dessert station manned by a full-time pastry chef). A few other places on campus (grill, bagel shop, coffee/pastry shop). The food has gotten pretty decent since my freshman year and the dining staff are really friendly.

    Dining hall food is acceptable, but not great. Food is greasy and menu is repetitive. The inn-between is expensive, and the food isn't great, although it is a nice change from the dining hall.

    The dining hall is very good, the food there is very delicious. It closes at 8 p.m. so if you have a late night job plan on eating in your room.

    Cafeteria gets old after the first couple of weeks. Sometimes there is a lot to choose from, sometimes there is nothing.

    Iffy selection in Schott. The other options are pricey but worth it. Get the lowest swipe plan possible with the most Plus points!

    The food is awful. One star is generous. The cafeteria looks like it offers many different options but the only thing that is really edible is the grilled chicken, burgers and fries, and even those are questionable most days. I would recommend getting the smallest meal plan possible with the most plus points so you can eat at Einsteins or the Inbetween. The workers are really nice, majority of them, but the lunch and dinner time rushes seem to be a surprise to them everyday, so be prepared to stand in line...

    They'll say 5% of the student body is affiliated with Greek Life. It's a lie. Over half the campus is.

    About 10-15% Greek. Five sororities and four fraternities. Greek organizations don't have their own houses, but have locked floors in regular residence halls, allowing them to have their own space but still be integrated with the rest of the community. Very service based, friendly, and involved, not at all like you see in the movies. You don't have to be Greek to have fun and make friends, though - Greek life at JCU is not really exclusive like it is at some universities.
