  • Apr-12-2013 I am accepted here and planning to attend soon

    I ate there & the food was fine. I love that there are Boro bucks that you can spend in places off campus, too!

    One's never far from getting a meal! Food court style meals cover almost any cuisine you might crave. And if you want a quick bite, there are several cafes and shops for subs and salads. Boro Bucks (the equivalent of cash to use in the community) are accepted nearly everywhere in the immediate area, so one can eat at a local pizza or burger joint.

    NEVER EVER EVER eat at Profs, the wing place, or the taco place. Profs = moldy sandwiches, wing place = under cooked chicken, and taco place = bones and scary veins in meat. The Caff however, and Jazzmans are wonderful, as is the Press.

    The cafeteria in the Student Center offers a lot of different options, but most of them are the same everyday. A lot of the food is also covered in oil and not very healthy. There is a nice salad bar, but that gets old quickly. The other options are downstairs in the Student Center, with a food court and Prof's Place. The food in the food court is also expensive and greasy, so it's not the best place to go if you're trying to avoid the 'freshman fifteen.' Prof's has different sandwiches and pancakes, and seems to be very popular with students.

    The food and dining is on par with most other schools; however, Rowan is working their way to the top. In the past few months two new restaurants have opened. One is a grass-fed burger joint and the other is a tofu bonanza filled with plenty vegetarian alternatives.

    The food here is pretty good and you would not get tired due to the fact that you can go to so many places.

    The food is not that great. Most of it is extremely unhealthy, and the meal plans are expensive (and mandatory if you live on campus). If you can handle cheese steaks and hamburgers every day, and pretty horrible chef meals, then go ahead and get the meal plan. If your living on campus, make the most out of your meals and try to add some variety in the buffet style marketplace!

    The food is cooked fresh and always delicious. The only negative would be the hours. They don't seem to be opened sometimes when you want food.

    The Greek life organizations here and diverse and there are many multicultural organizations, as well. All the brothers and sisters carry themselves very well on campus.

    As a member of Greek Life I can tell you that it does not get a good rap prima facie, but when you delve below the surface you find an environment of close bonds and networking opportunities for the future. I am a member of Sigma Pi, but I encourage everyone to join Greek Life regardless of which fraternity or sorority.

    In my opinion, Greek Life has seen a huge decrease in appeal as Rowan and Glassboro have together been cracking down hard on the night life. However, as far as frats go, their are a number of choices depending on what you're into and what clique you fit with.

    There are many fraternities and sororities on campus. They are more involved on campus than any sports team or club. They contribute to fundraising, community service and to Homecoming.

    We have Greek life at Rowan. Many fraternities include: Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Kappa Psi, Alpha Chi Rho, Alpha Phi Omega, Sigma Pi, FIJI, TKE and DKE who are off-campus. The sororities are: Alpha Epsilon Phi, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Delta Phi Epsilon and Theta Phi Alpha. They were letters and hold many campus-wide events.
