    You are in Downtown Portland! There are numerous establishments you can dine at, and there are famous food cart blocks very near campus for those on the run.

    The food is a great like back home, but ts pretty satisfying. If you do not want to eat at the local campus diner you can always cook back at your dorm or go to a local fast food restaurant that are all over campus.

    I am gluten intolerant and there is really very little that i can eat in the way of nutritious cooked food. There is a lot of junk food and not a lot of healthy, body and mind sustaining food. When I am there I am often hungry or have an unbalanced blood sugar because of having to eat too much processed food.

    Being in downtown, the food is amazing and everyone is surrounded by an amazing variety of cuisines. There are sit down restaurants few miles around and food carts in popular spots. There are many places that cater to a college student budget as well.

    There's good and not as good. The brand name kiosks in Smith Hall offer delicious brand name food. The in-house Chinese food vendor offers less flavorful and slightly disappointing fare.

    There are several fraternal houses, I think there are two female houses and two male houses and one co-ed house. They do a lot of bake sales and sometimes host events but they are not the kind of big crazy fraternities that you see in movies. The kids in them are kind of just regular kids, not rich kids or particularly popular kids, kind of just kids who's parents probably were in fraternal houses so they figured it was all a part of the college life experience.

    PSU has some greek life, but none of the out of control behavior you see so often splattered across TV. They are much more welcoming as well!
