    Wherever you are on campus, you will not be far from food...good food that is. I have the standard 14 meals/week plan and I never go hungry. Friends from other colleges have visited and complained about how their food is not as good and their meal plans aren't as user friendly.

    There are 16 dining places on campus. All of the food is very good, but the only issues are the workers and the dining hall hours. Hours are sort of ridiculous and the workers can be rude and slow at times. Other than those two issues, the food here is great.

    There are many food choices at Towson. The Paws cafe in the Union always has great choices. The main cafe has plenty of options as well, for vegetarians too.

    The food selection is fantastic. There are excellent dining options on campus and in the surrounding area. Options include cooked-in-front-of-you pasta, sushi, burgers, and pizza.

    This is one of the strongest points that Towson has to flaunt over some other schools. We have three cafeterias on campus that are all-you-can-eat, and over a dozen other places to eat ranging from Jamba Juice to Chicfila to Einsteins Bagels. Towson is also on York Road which has a 24 hour Dunkin Donuts, as well as tons of other cheap and local places to go within a short walk from campus. The meal plan system is easy to follow so its easy to find something yummy for every meal of the day, on any part of campus.

    AMAZING! You probably expected me to say it tastes like cafeteria food, right? Well, at Towson the food is outstanding! There are over a dozen different places to eat on campus and three of those facilities are all-you-can-eat. Every place to eat offers healthy options as well as vegetarian and vegan, so you'll find food you like no matter what type of eater you are! The freshmen 15 is very real, so watch out and make smart choices.

    There is a wonderful plethora of sororities and fraternities to chose from here. Greek Life does a wonderful job on campus raising money and helping Towson in general.

    While Towson doesn't have a Greek Row, it has a very active Greek atmosphere on campus. Girls and guys can be seen all over campus touting Greek shirts and during Greek Week, a week where all the sororities and fraternities come together to compete and have fun, the campus is buzzing with more activity than usual. I know several people in sororities and frats, and they all say they love them and have met so many friends in them.

    I'm in Greek Life, and I love it! It isn't for everybody, but I encourage everyone to check it out to see for themselves if it's a right fit for them. If you're into philanthropy, leadership, academics, friendship, sisterhood/brotherhood, and FUN then Greek Life is the way to go! Towson has about 10 sororities and 8 fraternities, but it is always changing as new chapters join or leave campus. However, it is expensive to be a part of so keep that in mind.

    I will be rushing next semester. Greek life isn't as huge as it is at other schools, but if you are involved in greek life, I hear it becomes a huge part of your life.
