    The food they serve us is very healthy and contains a lot of proteins and other supplements that will help us to make our body stronger. Our school do not serve meat and you have a choice either if you want dairy products or not.

    If you're not a vegetarian you'll have a rough transition into the food that's served on campus. The myths about not being able to cook meat on campus is false, you'll be able to order as much as you please.

    I think the food has come a long way. It seems like no matter what school you go to, the residents have nothing positive to say about the food. I believe it's because they compare the unseasoned food they receive to home-cooking they grew up on. I believe Oakwood has come a long way as far as the variety and quality of their food selections; I know there's always room for improvement though. Sometimes you have to wait a while to get the best options, and can end up spending more time in the cafe then you wanted- because of that.

    The food in the cafeteria is really bad, however if you go to the market/snack bar the food is really good.

    The food in the Cafeteria doesn't taste horrible usually, but you know anything can get boring and tiring if you do it all the time. Same with Cafe food; it can get into a boring rut. Change is good that is why there is a Market, where you can buy snack foods and fast foods.

    Food at the cafeteria is inconsistent in terms of satisfaction. There are some days when the food is good and some days not so good. But, there is a market on campus that serves great vegetarian food.

    There are no greek life on campus, but you don't need a sorority or a fraternity to know you have brothers or sisters on campus. Once your feet hit Oakwood's soil, you know that you have family here!
