“some dorms are nice, but others are ancient!!!!!!!!!!!!! as long as you have great friends it should still be great because of dorm activities and dorm participation in intramural sports!…”
“The dorms at Samford are far, less acceptable as compared to other schools in the area. Even the upperclassman dorms are of worst quality than freshman dorms at other colleges.…”
“the dorm life is great at samford. they provide easy access to all the buildings, so there's never any rush! plus, several of the dorms are currently undergoing or have…”
“the dorms are small and hard to live in when you don't like your roommate. be prepared to have no privacy.…”
“Better living on-campus as long as you get a good roommate!…”
The Caf is an adventure. The staff can be scary, and the food isn't always perfect, but if you are creative, you can always find something to eat.
» Read MoreI love the food here! I wish they would give us more bulldog bucks though. The Caf doesn't serve breakfast on weekends so that is a little inconvenient. The food court also closes Friday evening around 4:00 and is closed on Sundays.
» Read MoreThe food in the Caf is great.
» Read MoreThe food is fantastic!
» Read MoreThere is one dining hall at Samford. The food is all prepared from scratch by Chef Chris Vizzina. Chef Vizzina has worked in multiple well-known restaurants around the country and truly loves working for Samford. He has a passion for cooking that is very evident. The food is really good compared to many other universities.
» Read MoreThe caf is great and so are the staff! Be sure to be friendly and they'll treat you like family!
» Read MoreTheir food services are exceptional compared to other colleges. They have a wide variety, its fresh and hot, and their checkout line is fast. They offer Chick-fil-A, which is superb. They are definitely at the top of the list for colleges that serve good food and have a lot of options!!
» Read MorePeople say the caf food is not good. Granted, the caf food is not anything like your home cooking you normally get. However, compared to most schools, I feel like our caf is good. Yes, you will get tired of chicken and pizza. Yes, the salad bar lady will probably scare you. However, on average, it is not that bad.
» Read MoreThe food is only slightly acceptable if you really like American cuisine. Some acquaintances of mine have suffered from food poisoning multiple times in their first semester. This is not the place to eat if you value variety in any way ,shape, or form.
» Read MoreFood in the car is pretty repetitive and not the best but the food court offers more options and as does the O Henrys coffee shop.
» Read MoreThey say that 30% of the student population is Greek. Sometimes it feels more, sometimes less, it just depends on if it is Rush week or not.
» Read MoreGreat, but not as active with independents as wanted, although the fraternities and sororities are like family.
» Read MoreThis is the sole basis of any social interactions at Samford University.
» Read MoreStill developing, very small in number.
» Read MoreGreek life won't make or break your college experience at Samford. Many people have half greek and half independent friends.
» Read MoreWe have five social sororities and are in the process of adding another, and four social fraternities (there are also service, academic, and professional sororities and fraternities on campus). The great think about Samford Greek life is that it's cool to be Greek OR independent--there's not some imaginary barrier that means that you can't be friends with indies if you're Greek, or vice versa. My circle of friends is made up of indies, people from my own organization, and people from other Greek organizations. About a third of undergraduates are Greek.
» Read MoreSO excited about Greek Life!
» Read MoreGreek life's the best decision you could possibly make for yourself here at SU. It opens your doors socially and gives you a close sense of community that you're not going to find elsewhere.
