    The food at Quinnipiac features home cooked style options that don't often vary much. The food, usually hand made by Chartwell's employees, can either be pretty okay or very bland. The food costs are also quite expensive as our meal plan is in a debit card fashion. Students at the end of the semester often find themselves adding more money, eating off campus, or asking others to pay for them. The dining halls, however, are very well maintained and very clean.

    The food and dining are good. They have a variety of meals to choose from everyday including Chinese food, a Boars Head Deli and a BYOB (build your own burger) station. It is a bit pricey but it is worth it and students are given enough money on their meal plan to afford the high prices

    The food is not as good as other schools. There is not much variety but you have your typical salad bar, burger place, sandwich station, ect.

    Quinnipiac has much more potential to have better food, but chartwells dining is over priced and does not taste fresh.

    The food offered at Quinnipiac University is not the average cafeteria grub. The kitchen staff in the newly renovated cafeteria whip up new creations every day. You can expect to walk into the dining hall to find anything from sloppy Joe's to fillet Mignon. The only downside to this is that the food can sometimes be pricey, and students have to learn to budget their meal plans to last them throughout the semester.

    Absolutely fantastic. The dining hall was being completely renovated after I attended the university and it is even better than when I was enrolled at the school. The food is way more tastier than what you would expect to find in a cafeteria setting, like Luby's. Everything is fresh and very well done! Use your Q-Card to keep track of your meals too.

    Quinnipiac has many different fraternities and sororities, with 3 new organizations chartering this past year, and many events exclusive for and sponsored by these participating students. There is only one multicultural organization on campus.

    I am apart of Greek Life on campus and it is a great thing to get involved in. You get to meet new people and make new friends. It is a great way to get involved. However, not being involved in Greek Life does not hinder your social life. It is not that big on campus but it is a fun and rewarding extra activity.

    Greek life is building quite fast at Quinnipiac. There are like 5 fraternities and 7 sororities (good for the guys). But there is a new one like every year.

    Greek Life is very different at QU than most other colleges. There aren't any Frat or Sorority houses. They have parties sometimes, but they are usually exclusive and just at the house of one of the upper class members.
