    Sadly, there are only two truly dining places on campus where you can get a full meal. The large cafeteria has its good days sometimes. Typically, I would not go there because the food and the workers look bad. The second one, the Cafe, is small. But it has some good stuff. Yet again, the staff can seem rude and the prices are very expensive. There is a Starbucks on campus where you can use your flex dollars. Other than those 3 places, you cannot use your meal plan.

    The food there is good some days and not so good on others. The Cafe has good food there all the time but that is cash, meal exchange (only done during certain hours), or flex. They have a wide variety of food. The Cafeteria is good on most days and is used with your meal plan and is all you can eat. The only down fall is that if you commute and do not get a meal plan then it is kind of expensive to eat there.

    The food at Point Park has its pros and cons. Of course the pros are that there is a ton of pizza, fries, and all that great junk food. However, sometimes it gets to be too much when it is repetitive. Besides the dining hall is the cafe where you can use flex dollars and meal exchanges if you get tired of the food in the dining hall.

    From my understanding, Point Parks food is not too good. But there are more then enough school cafes to eat at. And with the great location of the school there are many fast food and dining restaurant's that discount food for students.

    The school's two main eating areas can be a little pricey. But have no fear, there are plenty of restaurants very close to campus (like Nathan's across the street).

    I almost never eat on campus, but there are so many great little spots to eat right around the campus. You are almost directly across the street from Market St. where local vendors and little shops set up every Thursday for a little Farmers Market Day.

    There is no greek life. But Point Park is surrounded by Pitt and CMU and during your second year you can pledge at either school.
