    The food is a negative, there aren't many options of food, especially healthy food. And the food in Dalton Hall is usually gross.

    I really can't complain about the food. It is pretty decent. There are a lot of choices to choose from. They have Chick-Fil A, Papa John's, Austin's Grill (hamburger place), Au Bon Pain, Pink Berry (frozen yogurt), Wendy's and the main cafeteria, Dalton Place.

    There are a lot of places to eat on campus, including a cafeteria that is much like a Ryan's, Though the food is great, it is easy to get tired of the same things everyday. Austin Grill is disgusting.

    At First when you come to Radford you love the food and its amazing but soon you realize Dalton is not that great but the bonnie and the terrace shops are always good. I went to papa johns like once a day it was always so good.

    Radford does not have much variety to eat on campus, but there are many different places to eat off of campus. The Bonnie and the Dalton is where there is to eat. In the Dalton they have Papa Johns, Wendy's, a sushi place, Au bou bon, and a cafeteria. In the Bonnie there is Chick-fil-a, pink berry, Wild Greens, Austins Grill, and Starbucks.

    I love the fact that there are two buffets on campus, one in Muse hall during lunch time and one in Dalton Hall that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Both buffets are amazing and they have a salad bar every day! They also have Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, Papa John's, Wild Greens and a few other choices, but if you ever get sick of them there are always off-campus options close by as well. Some of the off-campus restaurants allow you to pay for meals with your Radford Express card which is basically your university ID card that you can put money on and use like a credit card. The only place I would not recommend eating on campus is the Austin Grill which is supposed to serve Tex-Mex , but, in my opinion, it does not satisfy. Also, if you love to eat the best meal plan to take is the Flex because you get a little over 500 dollars in food dollars for the semester that you can use anywhere on campus plus vending machine money. However, if somehow you spend your money too quickly, just wait until towards the end of the semester because students with too much Flex money left over start randomly buying food for people.

    Greek life is pretty big here, for a campus that isn't affiliated with them. You don't have to be perfect to get into a sorority or a fraternity, it's better to just be oneself and go with the flow.

    So I really dont know much about Greek Life but the thing is Greek life is not for everybody and you have to decide if its for you or not.

    Greek life at Radford is fantastic. All of the fraternities and sororities are amazing and they do a great job connecting with both the greek community, the campus, and the local community.
