    Dinning plans are required for students living on campus, the options are not really many or very healthy but at least some dinning halls stay open until late.

    The dining halls can be great and can be bad, I do love the ACC Sundowner, because I feel it is more convenient and has more choices.

    Dining Halls are Dining Halls. There isn't anything glamorous about them. Clinton is the Dining Hall that is open everyday. Algonquin is open Monday-Friday. Both have Vegetarian options and a special fridge for those that have food allergies. Downer is also a great option. Subway and Tim Horton's are also on campus.

    The nice thing about Plattsburgh is the options. Little Al's is great in a hurry and Algonquin has nice healthy options that taste great!

    Depending on where you eat it can be a hit or miss. The Sundowner in the Angel College Center has different assortments of food that a lot of students prefer. We have two dinning halls, Clinton and Algonquin, as a freshmen I preferred Algonquin, now I prefer Clinton, though I only eat there weekends. The food at either place is either they get right or they get it so wrong, the food is my only complaint on my college but we also have a Subway and a Tim Horton's (Canadian version of Dunkin' Donuts) in the ACC.

    There are so many choices for food. In the dining halls there are many choices for all types of students, and also there are tons of restaurants and fast-food places near the campus.

    Eeek. Kidding kidding. There are two dinning halls on campus and one take out place where freshman are allowed unlimited swipes. The food in those dining halls isn't what your mother/ grandmother made but it is edible. Some days the food is better than others. October had been a pretty good month food-wise because we had October fest and Saint John's took over the food one night for a celebration and the food was awesome. One thing I really love is late night. It is awesome when you have a class or lab in my case that ends after 9. With your one late night swipe you can get food at subway or the Sundowner (the best dining hall on campus)

    There is absolutely NO HAZING on this campus. When a Greek Organization is found to be guilty of this they are shut down.

    A small percentage of students are in greek life but it feels like to me 1 in every three of my friends are in a organization. the school has a no hazing policy but beware. All organizations have their dirt.

    We have a zero tolerance policy for hazing. We have a variety of sororities and fraternities on campus, from multicultural, to Latin based.

    I would definitely recommend joining Greek life. I joined a sorority my freshman year, and it's one of the best decisions that I've ever made. Greek life is a great way to meet now people, and it even looks good on your future job applications.

    All the organizations on campus is great. There is a strict NO HAZING policy that each organization abides by. I'm a member of The Sigma Tau Gamma and I don't think I would be the individual that i am today.

    A handful of my friends have already joined sororities and fraternities and couldn't be happier. They are always planning and attending different events and have met a lot of new people with whom they've created strong friendships.

    I am personally not in any Greek Life organizations, but I have many friends that are. Plattsburgh has a very strict zero-tolerance hazing rule. The fraternities and sororities are very popular and active on campus. The directories are on the Plattsburgh website: plattsburgh.edu
