    The lodge (main dining area for the meal plan) is mediocre. It is run by Sodexo and rumor has it that they are the same ones to work in the jails in CO.

    We have a lot of coffee shops stationed all around campus. We also have a meal room called Clyde's Diner and it gives you a great restuarant experience without the restuaraunt cost. Plus, we have Cafe 65 which has great food also. The only downfall is the lodge where most of the food is nasty.

    There isn't a whole lot of (good) dining options on campus. The main place to go is Clyde's which is the pub on campus. It's a great place to go when you want to hang out with your buddies. Other than on campus there is the University Village down the road that has a few dining options.

    The Lodge is the cafeteria located in Summit Village, the food is really average and provided by sodex-ho. Clyde's is a restaurant and pub that is pretty popular there are pool tables and flat screen tv's throughout the area. They also have game night's, poetry readings, etc. They just redid a cafe in the University Center, it is now called Cafe 65. Decent food at o.k. prices. They play good music and the environment is fun and modern. There are also several coffee shops across campus. The most popular is Jazzman's which is right down the stairs from Cafe 65. They have a large selection of coffee and some danish's, sandwiches, and yogurt. Essentially, you have a good variety of places to eat.

    Since UCCS is a smaller school in comparison to most major colleges, the Greek life is small but present. There are many Honor Societies that students can join as well to help bolster resumes and experiences.

    There are 2 Greek life places for each gender but no houses so personally, I don't see the point in paying for the membership.

    There are fraternities and such here, but because I'm with my church group often I can't say how involved they are, except that I know there are several on campus.

    Greek life is small but is growing. I am a member of Pi Beta Phi and I love being a part of the Greek life here on campus. It really helped me branch out and meet people from all over and it got me involved with my school!
