    The dining halls are fine. Three meal plan options give you some choice. You get a combination of meal swipes and flex dollars.

    There are two dining halls, though one is only open for lunch, serving vegetarian and vegan food. The dining hall constantly rotates, and there is a grill and a sandwich station similar to Subway. There is a diner beneath the main floor of what is essentially the student center, which serves great food that can be purchased with Flex Dollars which come as part of the meal plan. They can also be used in the small on-campus grocery store and the Old Main Cafe, located in the main academic building. Overall, the dining plan offers a great deal of flexibility and the food is on average very good.

    The food is pretty good especially as you learn your way around Lowery, the dinning hall, however the on campus options for food are limited.

    Greeks take themselves way too seriously on campus. All frats and sororities are local, not national, so they all have an an undertone of take me seriously, which is annoying to be around.
