    Ah, the cinnamon rolls ! Our dining hall men and women fix tons of cinnamon rolls just to help us make it through finals week. It is the only part of finals week I look forward to. Everyday, though, there are way more choices than any of us deserve. The salads, ice cream, desserts, Italian food, hamburgers, etc are wonderful and never allow u to get bored with eating in the caf.

    The caf (The Commons) is probably one of the prettiest in the state. The staff are very friendly. Ms. Jeanette is a boss at the international bar! Ouachita only offers one meal plan to students living on campus and it is mandatory.

    On campus we have chick-fil-a and starbucks so that is a plus of the school, but he food at the cafe isn't bad. It might seem very repetitive at times with what they serve, but the staff there make it worth going to everyday.

    Food and dinning is exceptional. OBU's cafeteria is well built and well managed. A chick fil a, Tiger Grill and a Starbucks offer variety for any one's unique taste.

    The food is what keeps students running during stressful times and Ouachita surely delivers. With the cafeteria and other restaurants available, there is something for everyone. Also the bonus of Starbucks helps everyone survive finals week!

    My involvement in my social club at OBU has helped me grow spiritually and socially. My fellow club members encourage me to learn scripture, help others, and work together for common goals. Without these young men in my life, my experience at OBU would not be as rich as it is.

    Sororities and fraternities are specific to the campus, and are not national clubs (except for the music and theatre fraternities).
