    Nicholls not only offers cafeteria food, but a union full of other choices. Some of those choices would be a salad bar, sandwich shop(kind of like Subway), pizza place, Jazz-mans(coffee shop) and even Colonel Retreat(offer wings, burgers, and beer). Prices are a downside, all on campus residents have to buy a meal plan. If you stay in the dorms you can end up spending over 1400 on a meal plan alone. If you live in the apartments though you have an option of $500 declining balance.

    The cafeteria definitely is not the best. Eating the same food everyday repetitively isn't good for the body nor do I like it.

    Food on campus is always good, sometimes the cafeteria doesn't serve the greatest food but the colonel's retreat and jazzmans cafe is always there the save the day.

    The cafeteria is amazing. I had ribs for breakfast! They would provide fresh fruits and stuff. The food is never the same everyday. They even have a coffee shop on campus! I go there all the time! Their blueberry muffins are to die for!

    The food is really awesome. I would eat every day in the cafeteria if I could, and the cafeteria is large.

    There are plenty of food options in the cafeteria. I just wish they would provide more quantities of healthier food items. The quality of the food is great most of the time.

    The cafeteria is always cooking up something good. Also in the student union, they have a sandwich shop and pizza place.

    There are tons to choose from. There is even a area in the union where these organizations can decorate and advertise themselves.

    Greek life looks very fun. I attended a Greek competition this year and it was awesome to see everybody joining together to perform. My roommate is in a Sorority and she always tells us about the fun organizations they provide for the community.

    I never had a chance to check out the Greek Life, but I've heard from others that it has changed their life. Things they wouldn't have did on a normal basis they did because of Greek Life. An by doing so, it made their college experience 10x better!

    There are a good number of Sororities and Fraternities here. They are very active. There are no Greek housing.
