    The University of Arizona has one of the best food course areas that i have ever seen. There is a lot of options for food, and the building is always clean. The only bad thing about it, it is that there are a lot of students and it takes some time to get your food.

    On campus there is a lot of different food options to eat at that you can use your cat card. All of which are located along the mall. If you venture out to University there are so many other fun sport restaurants and grills that are perfect for watching sporting events.

    There's so much food all around the campus, you won't go hungry. There's no cafeteria, so you have a wide array of different restaurants to choose from. Don't worry, it's not all unhealthy either!

    There are about 20 different kinds of restaurants and diners at the campus. Also there are two of three stores that are open late at night and serve coffee, snack and other supplies. In general, food and drinks are easily accessible.

    There is a pretty decent selection of restaurants on and around campus which is nice. They can however, be pretty pricey, except for a few places which serve cheap meals.

    You can find many different places to eat no matter where you go. The building with the most choices is the Student Union Memorial Center. They have chinese food, burgers, pizza, chicken, bagels, smoothies, frozen yogurt, coffee, and much more. If you are on a tight budget you can go to the Cellar and get cafeteria food, or you can walk to U-Mart and purchase groceries to make your own food. If you aren't anywhere near the Student Union Memorial Center, you can go to Park Student Union to get a meal or there are vending machines all around campus. The University of Arizona also has meal plans you can set up so you don't have to pay with cash. Purchasing a meal plan means you use your Cat Card, which is like a debit card, to get any food you need. Just remember to watch your money balance!

    On campus there is pretty much fast food(Panda Express, Papa Johns, etc.) but if you go off campus to University Blvd there are a few restaurants that are pretty amazing.

    Greek life is definitely worth every bit of rush. It gives you so many opportunities to meet new people and develop connections with people you thought you never would. It also keeps your busy and you constantly have something fun to do with your frat or sorority.

    The greek life is enormous and diverse, there are fraternities and sororities ranging from social, to education, to service based, and they are highly involved on campus as well as other organizations around Tucson.

    Dozens of houses on and off campus; members put on lots of events--both philanthropic and just for fun. A lot of well-known world figures have come from these sororities/fraternities.
