    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.

    They have plenty of options of food and mini cafes to go to. The cafes are perfect for doing some homework and studying. There is also tables around campus you can sit at to enjoy the weather.

    It seemed great at first but then when you eat at the same places over and over it gets old. Not too bad though. Nothing to eat if you are trying to eat healthy!

    No cafeteria, but a food court with places like Panda Express, Burger King, Papa John's, and Chick-fil-A. Also local places such as cafes, pizza parlors, Greek food, and a place that sells a tea service with pie. Also, multiple Starbucks.

    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.

    Has a huge presence on campus but it's entirely your choice to rush or to live your life non-greek :)

    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.
