    The food is great and they have a lot of different options so you will definitely find something that you like to eat.

    In taste, the food is fairly good and there is a wide variety of places to choose from. However, it is extremely overpriced. Hours that different food places are open can be short or during class, which can be very inconvenient to certain students.

    The cafeteria and buffet selections are amazing! It is like eating at a resteraunt every day, but for a college students budget!

    The hours for dining could be better. The food is generally good, though sometimes food is a hit or miss. If you dont like or dont want to chance what is on the menu at once place, there are tons of options somewhere else, and the salad bar, prepared sandwiches, and soup are always good. But overall, the food is better than I expected.

    There are not many choices at SDSU and the options are limited. However, they are building two new eating places that will be opened in fall of 2013.

    Greek Life isn't very big at SDSU, but they are working on building it. They now have three houses on Greek Row and a fourth one will be coming shortly this year. Greek Life is a great opportunity to be involved on campus and make connections.

    I only know a little about the Agriculture related Greek organizations, and I only hear good about them. A few friends are in Sigma Alpha and AGR, both Ag related. There are tons of other frats and sororities, and I believe those are all listed on the website as well.

    The sororities are great. Some of my friends went out for them and they love it. They are caring and its like having a family away from a family. They do a lot and help a lot of people.

    Greek life is not a major deal but I feel it is a well kept secret with many benefits for going greek. Its not the greek life you see on television but focus on preparing you to be ready for the world after college.

    While I have not participated in Greek Life, I do know a lot of people that have at this university and it is very popular and looks like loads of fun.

    There are many different sororities and fraternities, but unlike some larger universities, Greek life is not the center of SDSU. It's equivalent to most of the clubs and activities on campus, if you seek it out you will find it and probably enjoy it.
