    Besides the food court, they have some fast food chains hidden in various buildings and a panda express just opened up next to their Barnes and Noble bookstore. Across the street are a variety of food places such as sandwiches, chinese, sushi, and greek food.

    Food was ok. It was good in the beginning but after two semesters of the same thing almost three times a day it gets old. But that is just the meal plan experience.

    Food and Dining is pretty good on campus. They have a Blakes Lotaburger, Panda Express, Subway, Taco Bell and many other dining places that make it hard to decide what to eat.

    Not only are many restaurants such as Chick-Fil-A, Taco Bell, Panda Express, and Subway on campus, they take flex points which are included in dining plans. A restaurant that serves as a buffet of many different choices of food is available to all students. The food is delicious and everybody can find something that they like.

    Lots of options, from local favorites like Blake's Lottaburger to asian cusine like The Mix. The food on campus can be a bit overpriced but they pump it out really quick for when you have a 10 minute break between classes. Lunch time is always a favorite for all-aged students.

    First off we have a lot of choices on and off campus. We have on campus a subway, lotaburger, TBCY, Tacobell, Chickfila and some other restaurants that sell Chinese, and Mexican food. The main food place is Taos which is like a buffet and has pizza, make it yourself stir fry/ and pasta, burgers, subs/wraps, and they serve a special meal of the day. The only negative is that its only open till 8, so for people like me who get out of class late in the evening and are starving and want a lot of food Taos is not an option.

    At times students at NMSU don't get the chance to go grab some lunch therefore there are different restaurants on campus. Even better they usually give students some type of discount.

    Greek life at New Mexico State university is one of the strongest and active group of students. Most greek are passionate about their chapter which makes every event a good time. Each chapter offers a different brotherhood/sisterhood where everyone can find their place. The Greek GPA average was higher than the undergradute GPA average for the 2012 Fall Semester.

    i haven't gotten involved in Greek life but i have met those who are involved and they really enjoy it. many of the sororities get involved in a certain volunteer program and each house although defined by there specific house colors are really a great mix of cultures.

    The Greek Life at NMSU is amazing. They are all very involved with both the campus and community and hosts an outstanding number of events for all to attend. Unlike many other campuses the Greek Life at NMSU is very approachable and friendly.

    I am a senior Vice President of Delta Sigma Pi and love every minute of it. Besides the networking with other professionals, the ability to socialize with brothers, which are co-ed, with the same interests allows you to solidify bonds for life. A great saying that the fraternity has is Its not just four years but for Life My fellow brothers help me out with class homework or even act as private tutors, and in my line of degree that is a huge help. I you have the opportunity to join this prestigious international fraternity, do so it is a great investment for your future, it totally is for mine.
