    Cortland has exceptional variety and quality when it comes to school. Besides the main cafeteria, which always includes a variety of food so you are bound to find something you like, there are dining places all over campus so that no matter where you are, quality food isn't far away. From Dunkin' Donuts, to Subway, to Friendly's, among a variety of other places, students will always be able to find what they are craving.

    There are a lot of options on campus, from the regular dining hall to Subway, Dunkin Donuts, and other places where you can order pizza, pasta, paninis, and other options.

    The food is great. With many different dining establishments and different styles of food, there's never really anything that doesn't taste great!

    The food is very good and there is a variety. There are five available areas to eat on campus. Neubig, being one of them. This is the main dining hall and there is always a large variety of food to eat. Tonight was italian themed.

    There are a majority places to choose from and eat at, but it is no five star restaurant more like a fast food take out place. I recommend eating at Hill top in the morning though. They have a good variety of foods to choose from

    There are, I believe, 5 or 6 different locations on campus to pick up food. All of them are excellent. Don't count out Neubig until you try it and make up your mind for yourself. I like it there! Also, the Friendlies and Dunkin Donuts on campus don't hurt either!

    There are a TON of places to eat on campus. There is Neubig Hall, which is the all-you-can-eat dining facility, which offers a wide variety of food. There is an island bar in the center of the dining area which makes breakfast sandwiches in the morning and things like quesadillas for lunch or dinner. There is a gluten-free station for students that must be or choose to be gluten-free, as well as a full salad bar, soft serve ice cream machine (Cold Stone is offered at night!!), and lots of different foods. There is also a Subway, Friendly's, and Dunkin' Donuts in Corey Union (our Student Union Building), as well as Dragon's Court which houses a grill for burgers, fries, hot dogs, mozz sticks, etc., Dixie Chix (a complete comfort food station), Yolato (frozen yogurt), and Veggie Patch, an all-vegan option. In addition to those buildings, Brockway Hall houses Hilltop, which has the BEST brick oven pizza, and makes a bunch of things like chicken sandwiches, burgers, etc., and there is even a full sushi bar! On the bottom floor of Old Main, there is Dragon's Den, which makes more sandwiches and ensures that there is always a building within walking distance that offers a good meal. Using Connections you can also add money to a Cortland debit card which allows you to travel to many of the restaurants downtown without using a meal plan or having to carry cash. The local Applebee's also accepts Connections. There are more than enough options for food that are ALL extremely delicious!

    There is a big Greek presence on campus. Many people choose to be involved in it, myself not included though. I have found many friends outside of Greek life and didn't feel it was a necessary part of my college career.

    Greek life is big, but I really did not take interest into it only because of sports, and money. Plus they are not to nice and only look out for one another, but thats when they are together. When they are separate individually they are cool people.

    There are quite a few sororities and fraternities on campus. I can't give much information on them because I am not in one.

    There are a decent amount of fraternities and sororities that are recognized by the school and national headquarters.

    Greek Life is something that is always an option, but there is no pressure to be involved in it. There are three recognized fraternities and about seven to ten sororities on campus. Cortland is not a college where Greek Life is pushed; you will have some friends that are involved and some that are not.
