    The Dining Commons has one of the best meal plans out there for colleges. There are also the food court, and other little shops around campus which are yummy, healthy, and affordable.

    The food is like others. On some days it looks good while on others you question what they are serving. However, the dining hours are very convenient, so if you're doing some late night cramming, the Dining Commons is there for you!

    Our food court is packed with many different options including subway, jamba juice, panda express, mexican fast food, as well as multiple coffee shops. Also, there are many different restaraunts in close walking distance to campus due to the downtown location.

    The student union food is awesome! There is plenty of variety and many healthy items. The salad bar is my favorite. Eating at the dining commons only a few times, there are many options and they are mediocre.

    There is a variety of choices from grab-n-go to health options. In the dinning commons everyday there is a different meal for lunch and dinner. Popular franchises like Jamba Juice and Panda Express are choices as well.

    There's a fairly good variety of food choices in the student union. Most students would rather eat there than in the dining commons.

    The Student Union on campus at San Jose State University have common food chains such as Panda Express, Jamba Juice, and Subway. When offering snacks, organic and healthy options are available. Restaurants also surround the campus that include Togo's, PizzaMyHeart, Jack-in-the-Box, and cultural restaurants serving Hawaiian, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, and Italian food. When I'm on my lunch break, I have a difficult time choosing where to eat for lunch.

    Greek life is a big part of SJSU with over twenty different sororities and fraternities there is a place for every person to fit in. If you choose to go greek, you meet so many different people and connect on different levels that can lead to life long friendships. Being able to bond with all these people who have the same interests and are willing to stick by your side no matter what is what most people strive for. It is your choice to join or not but either way you will develop a huge social circle.

    Joining a Sorority or a Fraternity seems like a fun thing to do. Do not just say no and not even give it a chance, try it out, go to some events, meet new people, and if you decide its not for you well at least you gave it a try.

    I'm not involved in any fraternities or sororities, but I have a few friends who are. From what I have observed, many of them are very unified and involved in volunteering.

    There are so many Frats and Sororities to join that you can find to suit you! They will become your long-time brothers/sisters who can help you out in the long run! There are definitely Greek houses around the area, and the partying also if you are into that!
