    The food is decent. I am a Vegetarian, so it was always my worry that i would not have a lot to eat. This school offers many choices for Vegetarian, Vegan, gluten-free restricted diets and are willing to make you something if you are not satisfied. Jazzman's is my favorite on campus, they have great coffee and huge cookies the size of your face. Erica is super nice too and she will make you the best Sunrise smoothie.

    There are only a few places to eat here and a usually only one is open at a time. Not to mention high prices. It's like Starbucks prices and frozen dinners anywhere you eat. Luckily, downtown is only two blocks away. Unfortunately, there are no plans for any new dining facilities. Fortunately, your mothers homemade cooking will taste that much better on the holidays.

    The food and dining offers a variety of cuisines and meals that reflect different cultures around the world. However, if you simply want a turkey and cheese sandwich, you can still get it. The options here are nice and allow for taste changing foods that taste great.

    I'm an independent at the school. Although, I do have a lot of friends in Greek. Although it is nice to have that feeling of sister/brotherhood, you do not have to be a part of Greek life to be active or have friends on campus.

    4 fraternities (Delta Sigma Phi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha Order, Phi Kappa Tau) 4 Sororities (Delta Delta Delta, Phi Mu, Alpha Omicron Pi, Chi Omega) Due to the university cracking down on greek life, who knows if it'll even be around in 5 years. Presently, greek life is over 80% of campus.

    Greek life is awesome! Transylvania offers four sororities and fraternities each and each one is astounding in their history and service opportunities. It is a great way to make even more friends and really connect with campus life.
