    Food is OK. A little bit hard to find healthy vegetarian options other than salad. Salad is good but not every day.

    There are plenty of options on campus. They have their own diner and Dunkin Donuts. I love their exclusive cafe where they brew Starbucks coffee. There is also a cafeteria where you can make your own subs, grab Chinese food, Mexican food, burgers, etc. and the best part is that Guy Fieri (Famous Food Channel Chef) opened his own restaurant on campus!

    The dining halls connected to our dorms are really very good. It obviously won't compare to a homemade meal by your parents, but it's definitely up there. The staff is so fun and talkative. There's food almost everywhere and with so many different options.

    The dining halls serve good food with some healthy options. There are also many different food locations around campus, even Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks! You will definitely be able to find what you're looking for.

    I go to Sam's Place on campus because it is located very close to me, and I would suggest it as a good dining place for others to eat at. The employees are friendly, and for the most part, the place is clean to eat at.

    From what I have tried, I have come to the conclusion that it really depends where you decide to get food from on campus that makes all the difference. The dining halls are less appealing than the other places on campus (diner, sub connection & Guy Fieri on Campus). You need to search around for what you will enjoy.

    I hopefully will be joining one of our campus' sororities next Spring semester. Greek Life is always looking for ways to collect money for their organizations.

    I am part of Alpha Lambda Delta, a National Honors Society for First Year Students. I just recently joined it, and I would suggest for others with a good GPA to join it.

    We have professional and social Greek organizations. Greek Life isn't huge, but it is a large part of campus, and they do hold many of the programs and activities that go on.

    The Greek Life is not up to date on this campus. They have brothers and sisters who do not know what they are doing. One reason for this, is because they do not have proper guidance nor these are truly respected sororities or fraternities worldwide.
