Student Responses to Review Topic: Food And Dining

    The food in the dining halls tends to get boring at times. You get sick of eating the same thing. However, the university has many places to eat. The Ferguson Center has Subway, Chic Fil A, Burger King, and others. On The Strip are different restaurants, including Thai food places, Waffle House, and numerous bars. Many of the food locations on campus and around campus also take Dining Dollars, which definitely comes in handy.

    The dining hall food is actually not bad. There is a great variety. Plus, we have food courts and restaurants in some of the buildings on campus in case dining halls aren't really your thing.

    Greek life is very popular at The University of Alabama. There are a lot of Greeks on our campus, which can tend to get annoying at times. But you get used to...after a while. It's just something you have to experience for yourself.

    Greek Life is the heart of the campus. If you are unsure of greek life, do some research and try to attend one of their viewing of the houses. Do give it a some thought. It is a lot of fun and great for students who want to have a fun busy schedule ( this being said in the most positive way)! :)

    It may only be 8% of our student body population but it feels like it takes over the entire campus.
