    The dinning halls are better than average, but there are also tons of different varieties of restaurants and options on campus.

    McCallies Dining Hall, simply put, not worth the money at all. The only downside to food options such as Subway and Chick-fil-a, is that the lines are always ridiculously long.

    There are a lot of food options at MTSU. We have our cafeteria-style dining halls targeted to residents. However there are also chain stores such as Panda Express, Dunkin' Donuts, Popeye's, Chick-fil-A, Subway, etc. Also the convenience stores located all around campus make an easy way to grab a quick, healthy lunch in a pinch.

    The food options are wonderful! To know that I can eat popeyes and Pizza Hut on campus is amazing to me! If you chose to eat health they have options for that as well!

    MTSU has a lot of really good places to eat. Mcallie is all you can eat and only 5$ on Fridays. We also have a brand new student union full of food.

    As a Panhellenic Community Member, I enjoy Greek life! Our chapters may not be the greatest in the world, but I can promise, we are genuine people. Always willing to open our arms and hearts for new members.

    There are tons of fraternities and sororities on campus. They all are fair and unbiased. Each one has a unique mission that the organization holds at utmost importance, most of which is charitable causes.

    Although I am not apart of any sorority, Greek life does seem amazing and the way they are protective towards one another, like sisterhood should be. They also represent themselves well and not only kind to their own but also to others.

    They try very hard here to influence you to join Greek organizations which are a lot of fun for some, not really for others. You can have fun either way.
