    At first, the buffet style dining halls were all any freshman could hope for and more. Food...everywhere! A salad bar, a stir fry bar, an ice cream machine, and more! What more could you need! And it is true, there is a variety of food to choose from (it is even vegetarian friendly). However, eating from a dining hall day and in and day out gets a little boring eventually. However...anything beats microwaved ramen in the dorm room! UC only has a few dining halls, which is disappointing because it makes it harder to switch things up. Nevertheless, it is still nice to go the dining halls with buddies who have food swipes, too! In addition, if you totally get sick of the dining halls, there are other options! The main street right off campus has many restaurants, including pizza places, Indian restaurants, and sandwich shops, such a Panera. Finally, there is also a Krogers that is a short walk from campus! Overall, there are choices for everyone, although nothing beat home cooked meals!

    I was often disgusted by the dining options at this school. Most of the items offered were not in any way healthy and often either over cooked or underdone. The best dining option on campus is Stadium View Cafe and that is, because it is a build your own burger type place, so if your burger tastes funny it is your own fault.

    University of Cincinnati has multiple dining facilities. There are 3 dining rooms, but all serve the same type of food. It would be more attractive for the campus to change their dining hall options. The food quality is subpar. The pricing for meal plans should be lowered for the quality and quantity of food that is offered.

    The food is not bad but you will get sick of it by the end of the year. Centercourt's breakfast is amazing. The omelets are delicious and waffle days are the bomb. Market Pointe is just as good but I think it actually has better eggs than CC but both places are pretty good. Stadium View is very convenient and there are a ton of restaurants surrounding campus as well.

    There are 3 dining halls on campus. Center Court is the main dining hall with the most vast hours of operation. Marketpointe is known for better food and a better environment, but is closed on the weekends.

    As I am not a member of a sorority, I do not feel qualified to talk about this. However, I do know that all the girls I know love their sororities, and it is a big part of their lives!

    There are plenty of frats and sororities to be involved in as well. They host many events and have many activities and provide you will excellent networking opportunities useful upon graduation.

    Go Greek! Go through rush or recruitment. It's not scary like the movies. You'll find the house thats perfect for you. These people will be your friends for life, it's not just four years.
