    Egan usually has ok food; Thursdays are always questionable however since they have a low impact day. The Laker Inn is a lot better, though usually you have to wait a while for your food...Worth it though!

    Food is okay, sometimes awful though. It depends where you eat. At the Laker, it is a wider variety of foods and usually most anyone can find something they like. At Egan, it is a hit or a miss. Some days it is amazing, other days you go and just eat cereal.

    Freshman year I had an unlimited meal plan which was incredible. I didn't have to worry if I had any meals left on my plan or not. The dining hall was open everyday for the whole day. Mercyhurst has so much to offer us for dining, unlimited soup and salad bar, pizza, a deli bar, and numerous other every day options that were always available.

    The food over all is very good and in the cafe you pay one price either breakfast, lunch or dinner and its all a buffet (all you can eat basically)

    The meal plans at MU for freshman are all unlimited and higher priced meals include more guest passes and spending money across campus, while the lowest included 2 passes and $50. These plans can be used at Egan Dining Hall. The food is simply okay on most days but sometimes they have really really good options. There are always unique flavors of ice cream that change multiple times a day. The Laker Inn is another dining hall type of place but only dining dollars and cash can be used here. Mostly an upperclassman place to eat but it has a grill, chinese, snacks, etc. and is open til 1am while Egan closes at 11 and puts food away at 10.

    I am personally not aware of any other Greek life other than Tri Beta the Biological Honors fraternity (that is available many places)
