    With a growing campus, only having two dining halls is the major bottleneck at Shippensburg University. Take this into consideration when budgeting your semester.

    There are several places on campus that offer nice cuisine for students with every taste preference. The meals are affordable and offer buffet-style dining.

    The food at Shippensburg is great which is a large part of choosing a university. You don't want to go to a place that has disgusting food. If I had anything to say it would be that I wish we had more food choices as far as places to eat.

    Any thing you could ask for is freshly prepared to your liking. The have specials and salad bars, grill, fruit bar, desert bar, and the space in the dinning hall features flat screens so you will never miss your shows and or sports events while you get a good meal.

    There are two buffet style dining areas for students. I personally think that the food is very good and there is a lot of variety to chose from. There is also a fast food type of building to eat at on campus which gives students the opportunity to grab food before their classes.

    Shippensburg has 2 buffet-style dining halls that are open everyday and 1 food court style dining area within the Ceddia Union Building (the CUB). The CUB has favorites like Quiznos, Sushi Do, Grill Nation, Homestyle, and 2mato.

    There are plenty of places to eat on and off campus. The food can be a bit repetitive, but for the most part it is good quality and there are many different options.

    As I'm not a member of Greek life I hear it is a very positive experience for those who partake in it. It's a great way to meet great friends and give to a lot of great causes.

    Sororities are amazing on campus and they star in many of the campus events. They host dance competitions, concerts and grab food and prize events. We love our Greek Life!

    The greek life at Shippensburg is awesome! I joined a sorority this year, and i've became so much closer to all the other people in greek life. Sorority and Fraternities are ALWAYS willing to help you out if you ever need anything.

    I'm not a member, but I know there are MANY fraternities and sororities on campus. They do a lot and get their members involved around campus. If there is any in particular you're looking for, Ship probably has it.

    There are eight fraternities and seven sororities on campus. Some of them are better than others and what I mean by better is that they do more community service and good things like that. Road cleanups are common for Greek Life activity.

    The fraternity and sorority life on campus is extensive and they are held to academic promises and high regard. They do not take over the campus and push themselves on the students, so if you do not want to join you do not have to.
