    The campus cafeteria has a wide variety of meals and snacks that they offer throughout the week. I have only eaten there a handful of times, but I have never had a bad experience and the food has always been reasonably priced.

    There are a couple of options on campus, and a few around the campus, but nothing overly fantastic. Just your common fast-food restaurants

    As I am not living in the dorms I have no need for food and dining. I bring my own snacks and lunch. Have never eaten the food.

    There are many food and dining options on Campus. In the Student Union they have a Subway and a Chinese restaurant whose name escapes me at the moment. Over by the CPSB, Arts building, and Administration/Humanities Building they have a Cafe there and another over in Cuddy Hall across campus. Scattered about are vending machines that may or may not take WOLFbucks off your student ID. If you live on campus then the closest place for breakfast, lunch and diner would be the Eatery located in the Commons OR the Bear (yes, bear, not bare) Necessities Shop were you can pick up food and other such things. The food, overall, is decent and everything, but your mileage may vary depending on personal taste.

    The food in UAA is pretty good, and the main place to eat is usually at the Commons. Once a month there are international food events where students can try out food from different countries. There are also places to eat near the campus buildings, such as Subway, Asian food, and other varieties.

    Subway and other food places are around the campus. I do wish there was more of a variety, though the den has free snacks.

    We have a couple sororities and fraternities, but they don't have housing. Despite that I have heard good things about them.

    There are a few greek organizations now. 25 years ago there was nothing at all. It's just starting out in the last few years and it would be a great opportunity to help them grow.

    I have friends each of the sororities and the fraternities. Greek life here isn't as big and fun as I imagine it would be in most big colleges, but like everywhere else you will have fun and meet lots of life long friends.
