    I saw the cafeteria at NJIT and was pretty impressed. They have a make your own food station which can potentially help you learn how to cook in the future. As well as an all you can eat meals. They also have a variety of foods for you to try. My mouth is watering just by thinking about the food there.

    They have a buffet style cafeteria which isn't too bad but I prefer to bring lunch and save money.

    The food and dining is your average college food. Certainly edible and sometimes even good, but hardly gourmet options. There are some rather good dining options within the Campus Center, and some terrific food nearby outside the campus, but you'll have to spend quite a bit out of pocket.

    Food is not a problem because if you do not want on campus there are plenty of good restaurant and cafe in the area.

    You are forced to purchase a $1,500 meal plan if you are a freshman or sophomore which is absolutely ridiculous considering the food served isn't that great. Even the most basic of all, pancakes. They have no taste! It's like chewing plastic.

    There is a street about 10 minutes away called Ferry St where there is a lot of good food. The restaurants are mostly Portuguese, Spanish, and Brazilian. It's really good. On campus there is a Dining hall, a few sandwich shops, Indian Cuisine, and a small store for quick foods. There are also grease trucks on the streets and a pub in the main building.

    The Greek life is alright at NJIT, but certainly not as exciting or inviting as in other schools. The frats are all located along one street, commonly referred to as frat road. However, crimes, robberies, and assaults are a common re occurrence along the houses on the street. However, NJIT is in the process of developing a new safe frat village alongside the campus which would certainly seem like an attractive option for the frats and a safer option for party-goers.

    There is a new Greek center being built in what used to be a parking lot. Fraternity Row is where most of the fraternity houses reside. They hold lots of events and like to include non-Greek students.

    While I never joined any of fraternities, I can tell you that Greek life are one of the highly active organizations on campus. From fund raising for Natural Catastrophes to fun activities and on campus rock concerts, Greek Life organizations are one of the top organization for that slight distraction you might need to take a breather from studies. If you feel you belong in a Greek Life Organization, you will not go wrong at NJIT.
