    The Tilly has really good food at the start of the semester when the new students and their parents are checking out the UAF. The Wood Center has a varied selection including Taco Bell, pizza, burgers, and even sushi. There's also a Subway which is really good. The water is really bad. A filter system of some kind is recommended.

    The food has increased a great deal over time; there is a salad bar, a specialty bar, pasta table, a grill, and a fruits bar. They are very diverse in their food, and it is in a buffet style dining.

    There is food here, but not like mama made it. You've got to watch out in the winter, because if you aren't careful, you'll react to the darkness by eating.

    There are a couple options, such as taco bell, and subway, pizza, and pasta, and some really great frozen yogurt. But, the main dining hall isn't all that great. The first week the food is pretty great, to lure you into a false sense of security. The food is tolerable, but still.. You might want to learn to cook. And cooking is a good way to make some friends anyways.

    We have three Greek organizations on campus, a co-fraternity, a fraternity, and a sorority. The co-fraternity is the biggest and the most popular. It's mainly about community service, and doing whatever they can for the students.

    there is a very very small Greek system on campus. its size is due to the small amount of people in the school.
