    The dining dollars make it easy and quick to eat on campus. They've brought in places like Panda Express and Chik Fila s you can get a taste of fast food very now and then. They also have vending machines everywhere so you nevergo hungry!

    The food at A&M is alright. You will be living in the same area for a whole year and if you have a meal plan this means that you will usually be eating the same things and you will eventually get tired. I recommend you check out online all the food sources available to you around campus.

    Good food but very expensive and there are not a lot of healthy options. Go to the grocery store and stock up. It's Panda Express and burritos everywhere.

    The food is great! My only problem is I'm worried about gaining too much weight while I'm there.

    Food isn't ever high-quality on university campuses, and the same goes for Texas A&M. You won't starve, but don't expect 5 star meals.

    Like any university, A&M has ample on campus dining options, all of which are good, but none of which are great. There are plenty of off campus eateries, but they do cost more than on campus.

    Greek life is rewarding but small. You absolutely will not feel out of place if you don't 'go Greek'. There is a very small percentage of greek life, but those that are involved in it, love it!

    Greek life is at a great balance at A&M. It is pretty popular, but not so popular that if you don't join in, you are considered an odd-ball.

    Soriorities and Fraternities are very popular at Texas A&M. The bid weeks are usually a lot of fun and I have heard great things about all of them.
