    I do not like the food... at all. The only thing I really look forward to is Fried Chicken Wednesday and the breakfast in the cafe. We recently got a pizza hut though. Watch out for the weekend hours on places because they are weird.

    The food is delicious. Breakfast is open every morning and you can choose from about three different places to eat from. Everyday there is nearly always something different to choose to eat.

    Food is good you get three swipes of whatever free food you desire and u can choose to eat in either the cafe, pit, or the pizza shop by the gym(workout). but be careful what they say about the freshman 15 is true .We also have many other common dining areas across the street.

    There are many places to eat from at South Carolina State University with really great food. You can choose from pizza, subs, chinese food, chicken, or the buffet which is located in the dining hall. If that's not enough for you, they even have a Starbucks.

    There are limited places to eat but there are a lot of fast food restaurants. If you do some searching you'll find quaint, family owned, places to eat.

    Greeks are amazing. I believe it being a HBCU has a lot to do with it.

    Greek Life is great! We all have a good source of unity and come together for certain projects. Service is our main goal and we strive to reach that on campus and throughout the community.

    I'm not into that, although it's quite fun and a great distraction from school work.
