    The food is very good at first, but since there is only one place to eat (without using flex dollars) it gets very old quickly. There are other places on campus to eat, however they require the flex dollars that come with your meal plan. I suggest using your flex sparingly throughout each semester when you really get sick of eating at Winslow.

    The places to eat on campus are good, Murray Modifies the cafeteria often, but not a great variety of choices on campus. The surrounding restaurants in town make up for the lack of campus eateries.

    The food in the Stables is great, but it's more expensive. I'm not really a fan of the food in the main dining hall students use. Too much fast food for my taste, but I suppose every college is that way.

    As a freshman, you can only really eat at Winslow. This is good for about a month, but it is really easy to get tired of. Meal options open up more after freshman year. Those meal options are a bit better, but variety is not Murray's strong point.

    There are many places available on campus to eat with your meal plan. The main dining hall is buffet style, which is good and bad. Also, the food is much better than the two other colleges I visited.

    Winslow, dining hall, has pretty good hours, and thier food is decent quality, some is better than others. They have a good selection of food. The meal plans could be better.

    I am in a sorority on campus and it has been the best decision I have made. It is a great way to meet new people and to get involved on campus and within the community.

    Greek life is kind of a big thing on campus, without making you feel uncomfortable if your not Greek. I'm not Greek and I don't feel at all out of place. Our annual spring step-show is phenomenal!!

    The best part about Greek life is that it is so chill. At Murray it isn't a big deal if you are Greek or not. There are about five sororities and six fraternities and they all seem to have a mix of different people. I myself am in a sorority and I think its great that not all of my friends are in the Greek system and it is easy to have a life outside of your sorority or fraternity. It isn't the typical image of Greeks where its all about parties but they are also serious about philanthropy and are involved on campus.
