    The food causes people to use the bathroom. Rumor that the food has laxatives mixed with it to help prevent food poisoning. You can believe something is wrong with the food.

    The dining halls have a good variety of food. You can eat everything from a salad to chicken to pizza. I feel like they also do a great job of making sure the international students are not forgotten by providing them with a little something from their homeland.

    Located on base, so there's a lot of options where to eat. On Pensacola NAS my favorite is the restaurant on the golf course called Oak Hills.

    There are two dining halls (one on either side of campus) that have the same meal options as one another each day. Though the quality isn't the greatest, a lot of the food is prepared from locally grown/produced product. There are also two convenience expressways. The express on the east side of campus not only includes chips, frozen pizzas, and everything else that the one on west campus has, but it also has an option for students to order pizza, made-to-order salads, and other warm meals with the use of their dining meal points.

    Greek Life here isn't that fun. They don;t seem to big on Greek life here. The experiences I have had with Greek life were fun.

    Its a journey of becoming a better man for a better world. The brothehood you will have with whatever Fraternity you rush will be like nothing you've ever felt before. The memories you make will make will stick with you forever. It will be by far the best time of your life.

    I have never rushed, but some of the sorority girls I met were mean to me. I've only talked to a few frat guys, but the ones I met were cool.

    The divine nine sorority/ fraternities are slowly disappearing, I am not so sure about others. And they are not as involved as they could be.
