    Outside of the university itself, the wonderful city of Philadelphia provides many options for dining and exploring unique and diverse cultures.

    The dining hall Terra is far from spectacular, but the food is edible. They have a variety of foods, including vegetarian and vegan options. There are also two other smaller dining areas in other building the offer quick service food such as pizza and sandwiches.

    The most disgusting, greasy excuse for food, really. Very limited options for people with dietary restrictions. There is often things like hair or flies found in the food. They also don't label the food very often. If you have the choice, don't waste your money on a meal plan.

    The University of the Arts just added a new dining hall 2 years ago. But it's not too good. The selection is terrible and the food usually just sits out there and you're required to eat the 19-meal-a-week meal plan when you're living in the dorms. And the price is super expensive for that. In one word: no.

    The dining halls make surprisingly good food. It has a wide range of choices because the university knowns that we have a lot of vegans and vegetarians within the art school.

    There is a cafeteria that any student can go to as long as you have an id card. The food is actually pretty good and differs everyday.

    Nonexistent. But there is Alpha Psi Omega, a theatre honor society, for any theatre major wanting to have a little taste of semi-greek life.
