    There are four different places to eat on campus, one on the side of campus with the first-year dorms, and the other three either on or closer to main campus. The food isn't the highest quality, but it is usually good.

    The quality of food is okay, but after a month or so the choices begin to get boring. Fortunately, there's a dining committee that is usually successful in getting students the foods they'd like.

    The food is good and the dining halls are nice. I have heard horror stories about other colleges. You will be satisfied dining at PhilaU.

    Simple, easy-to-follow meal plan and the food isn't half bad. Many different options are available, and they try their best to accommodate anyone with special dietary needs as well.

    Philadelphia University has attained a good reputation within the student body for lacking variety in the food served across campus. Ravenhill Dining Hall is most notorious for this, but not only is the food selection repetitive, the food is also bland. From one side of campus to another the pizza has different taste. At Ravenhill, the pizza is rock-like and cold; at Ted's on the other hand, the pizza is oven-fired with strings of cheese oozing off of the bread with each bite. Ted's, located in Kanbar, of all places on campus is the best, as it is the home away from home food. At Ted's, Starbucks Coffee is brewed along with the creation of milkshakes or smoothies, beverage-wise. As for the food, there is a choice of either pepperoni or cheese pizza or a chicken club from lunch until closing, along with a special for each night.

    It's usually a hit or miss with the Ravenhill dining hall. Common Thread's food is a lot better, but has less options than Ravehill. Ted's is just plain junk food.

    There are several dining areas convenient to all the dorms . The options offer a wide variety of food. I am a picky eater and have no problem finding food I like.

    There is great food at Philadelphia University. There are 3 places to get food; one a buffet styled restaurant, another like a bar, and then a mini grocery. They have standard American food like pizza and sandwiches, but theres even more.

    There are a few fraternities/sororities on campus, but they're not huge. No special housing is given.

    PhilaU has no frat or sorority houses and only a small handful of greek organizations, most of which are professional, not social--the social ones are pretty much a joke though. There is a textiles fraternity, leadership fraternity, law fraternity and many more. All fraternities are coed.
