    The food at Kansas State University is unparalleled. Delicious and healthy food options are a huge bonus for weary college students with no cooking skills, such as myself.

    The dorm food is decent considering that usually it is students that are preparing it. There are plenty of options for every meal as well as considerations made for those with allergies or who are vegetarian. If you want something else, then Aggieville is relatively close by.

    KSU has three dining centers I ate at the Derby Complex or The Derb 4 halls fed into it and were all connected through the basement, this means even on snow days you don't have to go outside to get food! The food is ranked highly for quality, portions, and nutrition. It isn't my favorite varieties, but for the Midwest population we attract, it has options that most people are used to.

    I am not a part of the Greek life here at Kansas State University, but my girlfriend and several of my friends are. Similar to the dorm life, it is a great way to meet people and create friendships.

    over 30 Greek Life Houses makes rush week a busy one for KSU students. A sorority or fraternity for every need and every personality. Perfect for out-of-staters who want to get connected right off the bat.

    AGR as a freshman was an excellent housing choice for me. Comradery with a great group of outstanding individuals with the same degree interests as mine as proven to be very beneficial. I would recommend to anyone going into agriculture.

    I'm not part of the Greek system but everyone who is involved seems to love it. All of the organizations seem to have a good reputation and are very involved with different campus activities.

    The Greek Community plays a big role on campus. Many of the volunteers for events and many service events are held by Greek organizations. There is a strong bond between Greek Houses and events throughout the school year to help the community grow stronger.
