  • May-07-2013 I am accepted here and planning to attend soon

    There are plenty of places around the campus to eat whenever one wants something else to eat. The cafeteria lunch is also enjoyable.

    Kise isn't really that great as far as quality goes, I learned that cooking myself was much more rewarding and healthier for me in the long run.

    Kise is not so good. It is very hit an miss. But the other places to get food such as the Dragon Cafe, Subs and Sweets, and Union City are very good.

    Kise commons really isn't bad. They always have at least three main options and theres a salad bar and toaster area. So your never out of options also theres often a desert or ice cream.

    Overall that are great grocery stores in the area and awesome dining options on and out of campus. The only one that I didn't enjoy that much was Kise, and it is the main dining facility you are going to use if you have a meal plan. It doesn't have many healthy food options, and when it does it doesn't taste very good. I gained a lot of weight eating there, I don't recommend it.

    Everyone I know that took part on the Greek Life at MSUM said they are a great way to have fun and to make lots of friends. There are at least three sororities and they just established a fraternity in 2012.

    There are a couple of sororities but only one fraternity. Kappa Sigma is the prime fraternity on campus because it is the only one. We used to have more fraternities, but they were all too stereotypical, and were shut down. I don't know much about sororities other that their all girls. Sorry.

    There isn't really a large Greek life on this campus a few sororities around, but nothing compared to NDSU or UND which are other close locations.
