    I rarely ate on campus but most of the dining halls either prep their own food, which is neither horrible or great, or have a deal with a fast food restaurant like Chick-fil-a or Panda Express that operates on campus.

    The dining halls at Texas State are alright, and even fairly good when you first get on Campus. If you are on the Dining Plan, it's a pretty good deal since you get a drink and the meal with it. There are many good franchrises like Einstein Brothers, Starbucks, and just off campus is Chipotle. The buffet dining halls are really good too, especially for breakfast. However, be prepared to get sick of everything and my only complaint is that the latest on campus dining that is open is 10.

    There are several dining halls on campus, but not all of them stay open or keep reasonable hours. There are a lot of ways to find good food though. My personal favorite is Einstein's Bagels!

    Texas State offers several cafeteria locations, including a chik-fil-a, einsteins bagels, and a panda express. There are two buffet style cafeterias, and two individual food stand cafeterias. The food is good and there are a ton of choices that one can eat. You never run out of new things to try.

    Meh. The dining halls aren't bad. Chick-fil-A and Blimpie saved my life. But, there are plenty of places just beyond campus that are super easy to get to.

    Greek Life is a big part of campus life at Texas State and rush week is huge. However, many of the non-Greeks don't really get along with the Greeks, and if you show up to a Greek party and aren't a hot girl don't expect to get in. While they do have a lot of fundraisers on campus, my impression of Greek Life is mostly for social reasons and not much more.

    Texas State has a reasonable amount of its students involved in Greek life. Greek life is on the rise and we just added another sorority chapter this past year!

    There are so many Greek organizations not just Panhellenic either. There are multicultural Greek orgs, honor college Greek orgs. etc.

    Greek life is great at Texas State. The people are nice and are not stuck up like the stereotypical name they all have. They are a community together and all treat each other equally.

    There's a lot of frats and sororities, so you have options. There are greeks that party, greeks that focus on community service, greeks that focus on education. It's a good way to meet people if the greek life appeals to you.
