    There are many different places to eat on campus. We have a Pizza Hut, Chik-fil-a, SubConnections, an Italian Restaurant, and a Mexican Restaurant in the student center, cafes, a dining hall, and dining areas in the dorms. There are so many different options on campus. Marshall is also located in the heart of Huntington on 5th Ave, and there are numerous restaurants on 5th Ave and within walking distance of campus.

    The none dinning hall food is very expensive for what it is, you are normally better off going off campus to a fast food restaurant to get a good deal on food.

    I love the food! There are so many options here at Marshall University it is not funny. On campus you have about six different places to eat.

    It isn't awful and it is definitely better than high school food, but if you have taste buds you are in no danger of overeating. Halfway through the second semester you begin to dread going to the cafeterias. There are a lot of places to eat within a block or two of campus though, and those are pretty good and relatively cheap.

    There are not a lot of choices near campus. There are enough but my husband and I got tired of the restaurants near campus very quickly. If you have access to a vehicle there is a mall about 15 miles down the road where you can find more of a selection.

    The food is decent on most days but on others its a hit or miss. There are a couple of different locations where you can go to get something to eat.

    On campus there are a number of sororities and fraternities all location close to the school. There are great options and plenty to choose from. The Greek Life put on different events and have their Greek Week. As well as raise money for their philanthropy. This is a great choice for anyone and can really be a family with each other.

    Can't say for certain considering i'm not involved in any of the fraternities, but from what I have heard it is a very good community feeling.

    Greek Life holds a strong presence on my college campus. I am a part of Tau Kappa Epsilon and they have offered me brotherhood, academic help, friendships, and networking opportunities. Greek life at Marshall offeres a bond like no other.
