    The food is fairly decent. At the very least it is not awful. The selection just gets boring after awhile.

    The food is good it;s the same sometimes but you can always exchange your meal at the bistro and they have the best food on campus. There are also a lot of places where you can use your meal plan like Domino's and Subway.

    I can say sometimes they have good food to eat but something the food can use a little work. Subway and pizza hut is always good options when you are pulling an all nighter.

    The caf is your only option for breakfast and lunch. For dinner you can either eat in the caf (limited options, questionable quality), or go to the Bistro downstairs in the same building if it's past 7pm (currently a $7.50 limit if you want to use your meal plan; any extra cost goes on flex or is paid separately). You also get flex, which is money on your account you can only spend at certain food places. Currently, the only places you can use your flex are the caf, the Bistro, Domino's Pizza, Subway, and Einstein Bros.

    I personally enjoyed the cafeteria. The cafeteria workers are sweet people who are very caring. The place is clean and there is ALWAYS something yummy to eat. There are lots of options for different types f eaters (especially vegetarians).

    The cafeteria food is not the greatest, and it is easy to get sick of after a few weeks. However, there are a lot of really great restaurants right around campus, many of them in very close walking distance--Donnie's Homespun Pizza, Lock Stock N Barrel, University Dogs, Mi Pueblito, and Einstien's Bagels--to name a few. There are also quite a few late night dining options on campus for all those night owls.

    Greek life is fairly good. There are several fraternities and sororities on campus. All of them are active on campus. I am a member of the service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega and I love it.

Additionally, the fraternity/sorority community has maintained a grade point average higher than the all Millikin average since 2005. The main social fraternities are; Delta Sigma Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha Tau Omega, and Tau Kappa Epsilon. The main social sororities are; Alpha Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, and Pi Beta Phi.

    Even if you don't think of yourself as the kind of person who would join a fraternity or sorority, you may want to consider it at Millikin. Many of our Greek houses break the typical negative Greek stereotypes. There are three panhellenic sororities, four IFC fraternities, and a few multicultural groups. Millikin waits until the Spring for formal recruitment, so first year students have a lot of time to consider whether or not they want to go Greek, and can get acclimated to the campus first.
