    Though it isn't your mom's home cooking, Susquehanna's food and dining is a really great service. There are a variety of meal plans that can be chosen to fit your eating habits, along with many options. Vegetarian students and Vegan students do not have to worry about finding options, because there are plenty!

    There are technically five places on campus to get food. There is a cafeteria with a variety of options, a bistro with many made-to-order sandwich and wrap options as well as snack items, a coffee place, a Mexican food place, and a place that offers paninis and sandwiches. Between the five places, there is always a place to go. Also, there are many eateries off campus that are in walking distance if you want to grab a bite when the dining places aren't open. In addition, there are several restaraunts and places to get food that are only about a five minute drive away.

    Pretty good. A lot of people like to go to Benny's since it tends to have more options. The cafeteria's food isn't bad but it gets a bit repetitive. There's also a Starbucks- like place called Java City which is pretty popular.

    For me personally, the caf is a hit or miss kind of deal. You might hit the jackpot and they serve your favorite food, or you might just end up grabbing something. However, the food is not terrible by any means, and the salad bar is phenomenal. There are other places to eat: Clyde's in the athletic complex does Mexican, and Benny's in Deg does sandwiches and grill. The Periodic Table has notoriously great paninis, and there is a Java City on campus also.

    Food is not terrible but there is not much variety. The past year or so they have been trying to improve it and plan on adding more places to eat on campus.

    The food is amazing! You can pick from any of the 4 locations on campus to eat. We have our main dining hall which is a buffet that's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Clyde's Cafe which is a restaurant that has a Mexican menu, Elle's which is like SU's version of Panera Bread, and Benny's Bistro that offers a variety of foods like pizza, fast foods, salads, sandwiches and plays host to the on capus grocery store.

    The school offers everything from relaxed, restaurant-style dining to rapid retail convenience. They do a pretty good job for a small school.

    Susquehanna offers a variety of dining options. Whether you are looking for a quick meal to grab for the go or a nice place to sit and relax with your friends, Susquehanna has it all.

    The food is OK. It's pretty hard to avoid additives like oil and other fats. If you like philly cheesesteaks, burgers, hot dogs, and grilled cheese, you will be in heaven. If you are a salad, coffee, veggie, or yogurt lover...you will not. The Meal Deal program also is not the best. You have a set price that a meal needs to fall into and anything over that comes out of Flex or pocket--and a lot goes over.

    Greek Life is very evident here on campus. Many people are involved in Greek Life. There is a Greek Organization for pretty much everyone who comes here. It allows for many service opportunities, and is a great way to meet friends you'll keep for a lifetime!

    Greek Life is fairly popular here, but not expected by any means, and is a lot of fun if that's something you're interested in. The school holds a fairly unique view, however, that hazing is really unnecessary because breaking someone down in the name of brother/sisterhood does not empower them in brotherhood. That being said, the hazing policy is a little strict, but it serves a very good purpose.

    I personally am not involved in Greek Life, but have several friends who are and enjoy it very much. Those who do participate in Greek Life are often involved in community service projects or Susquehanna activities.

    Greek Life even though it does not take up a huge portion of the student body, is very prevalent on campus. There is about 5 sororities and 5 frats. They are super friendly and associate with other clubs or sports on campus.

    About 25% of our students are a part of Greek life. It's a large number for such a small campus but it's definitely worth getting into. We have a no hazing policy on campus that's firmly instituted, so you shouldn't feel afraid of giving Greek life a chance! I personally am heavily involved in my sorority and hold many leadership roles. It is a great way to meet people and gain leadership positions.

    SU has a rich tradition of Greek life with a community that is more than 100 years old. Currently, there are 11 social frats and sororities.

    Joining Greek Life may be the best decision in your college experience! You will not only find your closest friends but you will also work with the other Greek organizations to earn money for specific philanthropies.
