    There is only one dining hall on campus that is on your meal plan, then there is a dinning area in the main campus center. They take money, but you get some on your meal plan. There are plenty of options, it might be hard to adjust to the food, but it's not terrible.

    Although I do not invest in a meal plan, there are two cafeterias on campus that seem to offer sufficient meals, along with a convenience store. My favorite, however, is the two different Tim Hortans locations that are always filled with students looking for coffee in between classes. There are also some excellent restaurants near the campus, including St. A's Pizzeria.

    Clet and Lower Level Gallagher have great food. Chefs make your food right in front of you! The staff is so cordial, and always have smiles. Oh, and shouldn't forget to mention Clet is an all you can eat buffet!

    NU has two places on campus to find food: Clet Dining Hall, which is an all-you-can-eat buffet, and the Gallagher Center, where our Purple Eagle basketball team represents us proudly. Both operate until late night (11 PM) and satisfies the hunger needs of the students across the entire day.

    Im from the South so I naturally have issues with the food here and there hours of operations, and the sometimes limited selections. I love the fact that there is a ice cream sation with some of the most delicous favors to choose from.

    Food is really good. There's pizza, pasta, and burgers every night along with a salad bar. There's a sundae station too with 15 different flavors of ice cream. In the student center there's a deli station, a grill station, a pizza station, a convenience store, and a Tim Horton's, along with a Tim Horton's in Bisgrove Hall (business/education building).

    There are two sororities and two fraternities on campus. Each are very different from each other. Two of which have a house. You can meet a lot of great people this way.

    We have several different opportunities for both men and women to get involved in sorority life. It is a great chance to engage in fun activities and meet new people.

    Though Niagara does mention initially that there are fraternities and sororities on campus, they are not as prominent at Niagara as they are at other universities.
