    The freshman 15 is not a joke. It is an actuality. The food is plentiful, but does not tend to be overly healthy, unless a student is sticking with the salad bar.

    There is a lot of food selection in the cafeteria, and we even a cafe where you can get coffee drinks, bakery items, or ice cream! It is all pretty good!

    The food offered at Northwestern is amazing. When I first visited the Billy Graham Center, I was so overwhelmed at all the food to choose from, I literally didn't know what to do with myself! The college is also nearby several good restaurants and fast food markets, so variety will never be a problem.

    The food is on the healthy side and very tasty. Meal plans are expensive for freshmen though.

    Overall, the food is good and a diverse menu is offered. The Eagle's Nest food is okay, but it takes a while to make and the food in the CLC is better. I love the ice-cream at the cafe.

    The dining hall is exceptional! I spent three days at camp at Northwestern this past summer and the food was amazing. There are several different stations and options. The cooks are so nice and the dining hall itself is clean and well organized, but also homey.

    The food can sometimes be unique but there are consistent options of pizza, burgers and subs which never fail. The dining areas are very cozy and offer plenty of room to eat or study or just hang out with friends. There are plenty of options to satisfy your hunger during the week and on weekends to keep you healthy and your stomach happy.

    The food is very healthy. All products used to make meals are guaranteed to come from farms that are not harmful to animals. However, there isn't a great variety in meal types.

    NWC doesn't have any sororities or fraternities.
