    They just opened a subway on campus. The campus store has basic food.

    The food and dining is probably the thing I like least about MCLA. The food is not as bad as people make it seem but it could still be better. The dining area is too small and I really dislike how we can't get take-out.

    Very wide array of food and very well prepared as well. Though as many would find, after repeatedly eating the same food for a certain amount of time you may get tired and want variety. In the case of an event like this, staying in your dorm and preparing something yourself or going out to eat may be a wise choice.

    The food, like any college, is not Mom's home cooking. Truthfully, it can get old, which makes you appreciate a delicious home cooked meal when going back home for the holidays!

    The campus store and cafeteria don't always have the best variety of food and the campus store is in some cases over priced. We do also have a starbucks and subway on campus that expand the variety of what you can eat but they may be more expensive than the store depending on what you get. The cafeteria closes at 7:30 and the rest of the marketplace, where the other food establishments are located closes at 11. The quality of food is decent but the hours of operation aren't so desirable.

    Aramark isn't the best food provider. The salads were not very fresh at times and the variety and health options are limited. However there is a food committee that works on improving the food quality at MCLA. The food committee is an open group, anyone can join and pitch ideas and actionplans.

    Though there will always be people who complain about food, and though college food will never be as good as a home-cooked meal, M.C.L.A's dining services are pretty darn tasty! I have enjoyed many of the meals that they cook up. There is a wide variety of food every day and for every meal. Each meal is all-you-can-eat, so whether you're going in for a quick bite or staying awhile to chow down, the food is easily accessible and there is plenty of it. It is also refreshed quickly, so that students get good, hot meals.

    There are 4 sororities and 2 fraternities. I'm a member of one of the sororities and it is the best decision I have ever made.

    Though I am not affiliated with any sorority, I do know that M.C.L.A. has several fraternities and sororities available. Most of them require Sophomore status before a student can pledge, while others allow Freshmen in. Many of the Greek organizations have houses just off of the campus, and will have routine meetings to assist the members academically and socially.

    the sororities and fraternities are just off campus and house parties almost every weekend. most are involved in community service and they're always welcoming newcomers.
