    Dining hall is amazing. Very large and clean. Great staff. A lot of different types of food, including vegan and gluten free. Foods such as fruit and vegetables are locally grown. All foods display the calories. There are a lot of different places throughout campus to purchase food, such as the dining commons, hoot and scoot, and Lloyd's.

    There are multiple places to eat on campus including the Zorn Dining Commons, Lloyds Market Place, Bean and Bagel express, Hoot-n-Scoot and the Night Owl Caf�©. Each place offers a friendly and inviting atmosphere with multiple choices to fit all dietary needs.

    The dining commons are great and there are a ton of food options, like pizza and even vegetarian. If you don't feel like going to the dining commons you can go to a couple of different areas too, like the Hoot 'n Scoot or Bean and Bagel.

    Exceptional food. Dining staff is friendly and always there to help. There's a large range of options for every meal and allergies and food preferences are greatly taken into consideration.

    The food here is putrid. No variety, and barely edible. It comes to the point to just thinking about it makes me loose my appetite.

    The food at Keene is good, especially during your first semester. There is an array of food items that will be served every single day in the Dining Commons (DC): pizza, pasta with choices of sauce, cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, quesadillas, stir-fry, a salad bar with rotating vegetable options each day, and a deli. The main course changes every meal and is typically a type of chicken or pork, served with a vegetable, and another side as an option. The DC also has a wonderful spread of desserts during lunch and dinner, and the soft-serve ice cream machine is always open. There are Pepsi product soda fountains, milk, and juice options as well. The DC opens at 7am on the week days and will stop letting people into the building at promptly 7:30pm each night. You can stay in the DC and finish eating until 8pm when the staff begins to clean up for the night. During the weekend, the DC opens at 10am and will still close at 7:30pm. I am not a fan of these hours, and as a student who works a lot, and takes many classes, this doesnâ??t always leave room to get to the Dining Commons. However, there are other food options. You can use your meal plan at Hoot n Scoot which is a fast-food type of setting that has greasy and unhealthy food options at any time of the day, until 9pm. Lloydâ??s and the Bean and Bagel are places that use Flex (an option you can have on your meal plan - $150 to use in these places specifically) or you can pay by debit card and cash. These dining areas have longer hours and make it more convenient for a busy college student to grab food or a snack on the way to class.

    I have eaten at a few colleges, and Keene had the best dinning. They have so many options and the food is actually good. They have a vegan section as well as a very nice salad bar and many other options as well. Hoot and Scoot is not as bad as people say it is. It's very convenient when you are busy and don't want to spend money, you just swipe and it will count as a meal. I haven't eaten much as Loyds but I hear its good, and bean and beagle is good as well. honestly I cant complain at all about the food.

    Greek life isn't very big at KSC. There are some sororities and fraternities, but they're not very popular among students.

    Greek Life is a prominent piece of Keene State College, though it does not seem to take over student life. Many students are brothers or sisters, and these students have bonds with each other that you canâ??t find anywhere else. There are plenty of opportunities to Rush the fraternities and sororities, and the brothers and sisters make you feel right as home as you rush around to each one. I rushed a sorority and I loved it. Due to the time commitment though, I did not join. I know of many people who have joined Greek Life and they all swear that joining Greek Life and Keene State has been the best decision of their lives!

    Greek life isn't huge at Keene, but there is Greek Life. There is only one on campus house for Greek Life, but we still have rush week on campus. the other sororities and fraternities just get apartments together off of campus. The only thing is that as a freshman, you can rush but you are not allowed to join Greek Life until your spring semester.
