    Food is actually really good! You look at that broccoli casserole like what's REALLY in there? When you try it, it is the greatest casserole you have ever tasted!!

    The Market located at Stangle/Murdough Hall is always a favorite. Horn/Knapp has a great lunch buffet and brunch! And check out Boston's mac and cheese bar!

    The food here is really good, although too expensive. I always run out of money on my dining card before the semester ends.

    The food on campus is the best part! In the student union building, there are restaurants that we all love as well as others that are mouthwatering! And when you just need a break, take a little trip to Starbucks and sit down with a good book.

    Ya know, its cafeteria or 7-11 style food, what can you say ... give the cafeteria a try. and dont forget to use all your dinig bucks before teh end of the semester or you lode them. AND, make friends with one of the short order cooks at one of the many Sam's stores. They will save your life when it comes to need a half way decent hot meal or really ... anything food related. They know what to eat and not eat and when to come in and get first dibs on stuff.

    The food here is wonderful and with so many choices to choose from you will never get bored of the same old same old. The cafeteria is spacious and if you do not want to sit inside on a nice sunny day there are plenty of room to sit outside and the space is always kept clean and maintained.

    The quality of the food on campus depends on where you eat. My favorite place to eat was at The Market, which has everything from comfort food to a make-your-own salad and sandwich bar. There are also traditional cafeteria-style dining halls and chain restaurants located all over campus.

    I lived with a sorority sister my second half of my life at Tech, she was CONSTANTLY busy, its a great support system and gives you plenty to do, but make sure you can manage your time well and have the money to afford the dues and activities that are required.

    I'm a proud member of Texas Tech Greek Life, and I think that we have the best Greek community in Texas. Each Greek organization provides so many opportunities for it's members to be involved and my resume would not be nearly as impressive if I wasn't a part of the Greek community. There are hundreds of students who call themselves Greek, but the sense of community among us makes it so that you can call members from every Greek organization a friend.

    Personally I am not into Greek Life but it is strong at Tech, specially sororities, there are many to choose from and they tend to have the most parties at Tech, also the most activities.

    Pledging a sorority has been a big blessing in my life over the past few months as a freshman. All of the groups were truly so welcoming during recruitment. If you are at all interested in Greek Life, please consider going through recruitment! If you like a team/family mentality, you'll especially enjoy the camaraderie and support you gain from joining a sorority at Texas Tech.

    Hundreds of clubs, fraternities, and sororities to get involved with. One of the largest Greek chapter schools in the nation.
