    Safe bets are jamba juice, starbucks and einsteins. Other than those places, I wouldn't trust the food even if it tastes good. I have gotten food poisoning from multiple places on campus. The food also tends to be very salty and high in sodium.

    There are a lot of food options and some are even healthy. Starbucks is open until midnight if you need a little extra kick to get through late night homework, and there is a pizza and sandwich place open until 2am. The variety of food is good, but sometimes the quality isn't so great.

    I've tried the food here twice already. I love the variety they have. I have really bad taste buds so I cannot fairly rate the food on whether or not it is tasty. I find it yummy.

    They're pretentious and often act stupid, I don't think they really are, they just act like it. Very annoying.

    I'm in a sorority and I love it. Great way to meet new people and have a lot of fun while also being apart of something bigger than yourself.

    There are several Greek organizations on campus and they are constantly hosting events and doing fun things. There is a single dormitory that houses most of the Greek life on campus..it's huge!

    A lot of people join greek life. If you are into long term relationships with brothers or sisters in greek life and donating time to help people than its just for you.
