  • May-22-2013 I am researching this school and have visited the campus

    Food when I went was good. Its a little better than the cafeteria food at my high school.

    The main dining facility is pretty good, offering a range of choices. There are some newer facilities that have been opened this year around campus where you can use your meal plan to get a sandwich, bagel, or fast food.

    There are many restaurant options in and around the campus. With a dozen or more fast food places and sit-down restaurants. There is even a Cajun restaurant that sends a food van around campus that always smells like amazing seafood.

    UAB provides its student and faculty with plenty of food options throughout the day and night. The choices range from different foods from all over the world. The only thing they lack is a larger variety of healthier foods such as fruits and non fried foods.

    The food is pretty good. Probably about as good as it gets when it comes to cafeteria food.

    UAB has plenty of options and various locations scattered throughout the campus. Some of the options include Taco Bell, Chick-fil-a, The Diner, The Commons, and many others that are very good and enjoyable and in close walking distance to many of the classes.

    Greek life is not as prominent as it is on some larger campuses but there are fraternities and sororities available if you are interested.

    The Panhellenic Council include sororites: Alpha Gamma Delta â?¢ Alpha Omicron Pi â?¢ Alpha Xi Delta â?¢ Delta Gamma. Fraternies include: Delta Sigma Phi â?¢ Lambda Chi Alpha â?¢ Pi Kappa Phi â?¢ Tau Kappa Epsilon. National Pan-Hellenic Council includes: Alpha Kappa Alpha â?¢ Alpha Phi Alpha â?¢ Delta Sigma Theta â?¢ Kappa Alpha Psi â?¢ Omega Psi Phi â?¢ Phi Beta Sigma â?¢ Sigma Gamma Rho â?¢ Zeta Phi Beta. There's also a multicultural organization, Delta Phi Omega. To be honest, greek life could be better. there could be more Panhellenic sororities and fraternities on campus. There could be better housing also.

    Despite there being a few Greek sororities and fraternities, Greek life is not as big of a presence at UAB compared to the other universities in Alabama. If Greek life is what you are interested in, I recommend the University of Alabama or Auburn.

    Greek life at UAB seems to be fairly typical, minus all the frat houses. There are a lot of Greeks. The Greek organizations tend to have some sort of event periodically to attract the student body, usually fun stuff. The stomp downs are amazing!
