  • “The dorms, while not the highest living situation, offer some comfort and luxuries, such as Internet and a kitchen. Also, the dorms are placed centrally on campus, so many buildings…”

    The food is okay. The caf tends to cook the same thing over and over which can get tiresome but if enough students make a request for something they will get it. They meet the demands of students.

    The food is great, but unfortunately very repetitive so I go to the on-campus Chik-fil-A and McAllister's when I am tired of the Cafe.

    Students of this college receive cards that one may put money on to buy most things from the campus and surrounding area.

    The cafeteria is not the best food. It is often repetitive and not everything looks delectable. Luckily there is also a variety of food places on campus too. The meals plans offer you a select number of meals per week in the cafeteria and a set amount of declining balance for the quarter. The declining balance can be used at any of the eateries on campus plus the campus grocery store. The best thing about the location of the campus is that so many restaurants are within walking distance of the campus. Some of the places even accept Tech Express which is like a prepaid debit card offered through Tech. You will always have a wide variety of food once you get tired of the cafeteria.

    The food in the Caf (cafeteria) is alright, but it gets old quick. There's also a Chick-fil-A and McAlister's on campus too.

    This is an area that has improved over the years. That being said, there is plenty room for improvement. They need more local, healthy choices.

We have Chik fil A, McAlister's Deli, a burger shop, sushi, sandwiches and salads, (my favorite) Cajun home cooking, and last but not least the cafeteria! The food does not disappoint on campus! I eat on campus everyday!

    There are many different fraternities and sororities on campus. There are only four black fraternities though. Delta Sigma Theta, Omegas, Alphas, and AKA's.

    I can not really comment on the Greek Life because I am only a freshmen and I have not joined anything. From what I do see on campus it seems like it will be fun and it will give you the chance to make a new group of friends.

    Greek Life at Louisiana Tech University is also a special and popular way students are able to get involved and enjoy college life. Commitment to no hazing, supporting nationally known organizations, and throwing great parties are a few ways that Greek Life at Louisiana Tech University is so special.

    I am not in a Greek organization, but as I look around campus not many of our Greek organizations are as involved on campus as the non Greek organizations, but they still make the Greek life look fun and it makes students want to be apart of it.

    Greek Life is very active on campus, both within the Greek community and without it. They participate in many of the campus's big activities and in service projects and fundraising and always promote themselves.
