Campus Life

Good food is provided once a while.

Satisfying

Limited. There are only really two places you can eat. The main dining hall has really restricted hours (while it's open between lunch and dinner, it closes up for the night at 7:30. Weekend hours are rough) and, once again, if you're a Freshman, you are really restricted. However, there are nice places in town with great food. Main street is close by so you can always walk down to grab something or get pizza delivered. If you don't feel like spending extra money? Be very wary of any beef and prepare your digestive system for school food everyday.

Sodexho provides us with our meals.

newly renovated dining hall with many varieties of food, food always improving as chefs ask for student opinions, grille with fast to-go food, coffee shop in library

I think we've all noticed that the food gets a little better on admitted student day (so keep visiting!), because frankly, the rest of the year it sucks. The variety is great, but all the options are still surprisingly edible at best. I've begun rating food on an adjusted scale good-good vs. glar-good. The best food is found on the dessert table, which does not help the Freshman 15 trap. Be conscious, and don't fall back on pizza and cookies - often the best meal you're gonna get on any given day.

The food there will make you feel like you're at home.

Let's be honest, no matter what college you go to, the food isn't going to be great. At McDaniel there are three on campus choices to eat and quite a few places off campus in town that you could walk to if you'd like. You can always find something decent to eat. Just explore your options.

The dining hall, appropriately called GLAR (short for Englar), kind of sums up the dining experience at McDaniel. Honestly, it's all edible....but every day it's kind of a hit-or-miss situation. Deli sandwiches and pizza are always safe back-ups, and the baked goods are generally fantastic!

The cafeteria food is mediocre. It's not the best but some days it has really good food. This is usually when there is a theme like Wing Night or Asian Cuisine. The Green Terrace has really good sandwiches and I recommend students visit it.

We have a variety of service, social, and honors greek life.

present on campus, but not overwhelming

It's present and active, but you can survive happily without joining. The parties are primarily (if not all) Greek-thrown, but not exclusive to Greeks. Chapters don't tend to have their own houses, and there's no Greek row. Parties and other events is where their presence is most felt.

There are a lot of fraternities and sororities on campus. Though Greek Life isn't for me, persay, I know a lot of girls who are just absolutely ecstatic about pledging and have found a home with their new Sisters.

Greek life is okay. I am pledging a national service sorority.

the absolute worst. i was in a sorority for a year and it was the absolute worst experience of my life. you shouldn't have to pay for your friends.

Join if you want a social life. it is worth everything if you are at McDaniel College. All the organizations are nice.
