    Try to make the most out of the cafe food. Make sure you get all of the food groups in every meal. The cafe will be able to supply you with a good meal everyday you walk in there.

    I had to adjust, because I was not used to eat fast food, however I do make wise choice about my food intake. My parents do send carepackage which is great.

    The food and dining experience is tolerable. They have plenty of choices to choose from in case the food is not to your liking as well as the dorms having kitchen so you can always cook your own food.

    The food and dining is wonderful because you don't have to wait in one line just for food and the is plenty of places that you can eat in the cafe and you also watch t.v while you are eating so I really like this a lot.

    The cafe food is good. Johnson C Smith's meal plan includes a $200 card for papa johns just in case you don't want the food in the cafe.

    Greek life helps you network yourself for when you need a job after college. Greeks helps out in the community and they are willing to give back. It will give you reason to perform well in the class room.

    The Greeks keep campus alive and fun. Their mini performances during gym parties get the whole school involved. The students love cheering on the fraternities and sororities.
