    The food at the dinning hall, Daily's , is pretty good. We also Cranberry's, a grill, and Subway. They're all really good. You go there for more late night/ weekend foods.

    There are varieties for every individual. However, the food choices change weekly.

    The Dining Commons on Princeton's campus are pretty bad. They offer a large variety for a small school, but it doesn't always taste good. The salad and sandwich bar is your best friend.

    I have not associated myself with Greek Life however they are always around and all seem so very friendly. They are never rude or discriminate against anyone.

    We Greeks often say, It's not four years, it's for life. Those who go Greek are welcomed into a unique experience that will remain with them long after their college years have come to an end. Each sorority/fraternity has its own traditions and values, but no matter which chapter you may choose, you are sure to love every minute of it.

    I'm not a Greek life person but they are great people and I have done a lot of volunteer work with a sorority. Definitely join if that's your style.

    There are many different organizations within Greek life- they have professional frat's such as the business frat., theater ( which is actually the most wild one) to leadership. Then they have a ton of social organizations from Sig Ep to TKE to several latino/ aferican multi-cultural organizations, and there are a bunch for females on campus. There are houses on campus, however, many of the upperclassman greek life have houses off campus which is a lot of fun. They do a lot of mixes with TCNJ's baseball/football teams and Princeton U. which is right down the street.
