    The food in the general area is pretty good if you ask me, you have a lot of options to choose from so thats always nice.

    The food here is not that great, but it is food. I'd rather have something to eat everyday than nothing at all. There are other places to go to both inside the student center, dining cafeterias, or off campus. If you do eat off campus, make sure it's not every week (money runs out fast when you least expect it).

    SFA offers a variety of choices in the dining halls and has some fast-food options on campus (Chick*Fil*A and Panda are the two well-known ones). I've heard that the wide selection at SFA (there's always an option of sandwiches, pizza, 'junk'-ier food (i.e. hamburgers, chicken patty sandwiches, hotdogs, etc.), or home-cooked food) is excellent compared to other schools, but, as with anything, after you eat it day after day, it tends to get old.

    The cafeteria has a lot of options varying from hamburgers, sandwiches, a salad and pasta bar, burritos, and they will have days where they will have a special meal (Chicken Fried Steak is my favorite!). But if you get tired of this, they have many food options around campus including a Panda Express and Chick-Fil-A ON campus.

    They have Chick-fil-a! That sold me. They have various types of food for anyone's taste. There also is a Chili's right across from the campus it you want to go out.

    I'm not personally involved in Greek Life, but I know that it's plentiful on campus and those who are involved in it love it. To my understanding, the policy at SFA is: If you're interested in Greek Life, check out several before making your pick so you can choose the one best suited to you and your interests.

    While I am not involved in Greek life, many of the men and women on campus participate. They seem to have lots of fun, building a camaradie unique to that kind of club. Being in the band, this was not really something I had time to pursue.

    I am not participating in greek life, but everyone I know who is LOVES it. You wont regret having brothers and sisters for life, because they truly are like your family and they constantly encourage community outreach.
