    The main dining hall called The Commons consists of several different types of food you can eat and is very delicious. You can also go to other little eateries across campus like the Chick-fil-a, and the Boar's Head Deli. Overall the food here is very good and also since the campus is located by a shopping mall you will never run out of food choices.

    Not that great... At all... Extremely overpriced for what you get and there never seems to be enough seating. It feels like the Dining Hall (the Commons) tries at the beginning and end of the semester but kind of gives up in the middle... Desserts are always excellent though! Started a new take-out program to that only cost a couple of bucks and the container's reusable. The Hoot used to be really good, but there was a kitchen fire and I'm not sure they're going to reopen it, but the food was really goo there.

    The Common is a wonderful place to eat. It always has a great variety of food. It ranges from grilled cheese and pizza to international foods. It has a wonderful section for vegetarians or those of us who are trying to eat healthy.

    The Commons is very nice, however if you commute better watch your swipes. The food choices include Asian cuisine, burgers, salad and wrap station, pizza, pasta, fried chicken, and my favorite the dessert bar!!!

    So many places within a few minutes of campus and most delivery places deliver to dorms. The Commons (cafeteria) is all you can eat and is set up like a mall food court/buffet. Lots of options to choose from. The Hoot is the late night place to eat. There is Chick-fil-a, Einstein Bagels and a few other restaurants on-campus.

    The food here is very delicious, and the only reason it did not garner 5 out of 5 stars is because it can get repetitive. Burgers and pizza every other day as alternatives to eating the gourmet flare meals, which can sometimes taste rather different, can become tiring. The food is touted to be very healthy, most of which is organic and sourced in the vicinity of Kennesaw.

    I personally do not know much about the Greek Life at Kennesaw State, but the people I know who have pledged love the sororities they are a part of and praise that it is affordable.

    I do not have much experience with the Greek life on campus, but I do know that one drawback is that no common houses for each Fraternity or Sorority are allowed at KSU. If you expected to live in a Greek house, sadly this is not the place for you. Otherwise the groups meet at the KSU student center and still plan a host of events!

    Greek Life may have little options to choose from, but they are all fantastic! Greek life are always helping other organizations and even each other. They promote their selves in positive ways!

    Greek Life is big on our campus, but not too big to where you feel pressured to join any of them. But if that's something you have always wanted to do I would definitely recommend that.
