    Houston has some of the finest food there is to offer. The University of Houston, like it's city, has a great cuisine for students. The food is fairly priced and is available on all parts of the campus. If you're a vegetarian, you'll feel right at home.

    I'm gluten-free (I can't eat anything that's made with flour), and the university is actually pretty good about offering things that I can eat. I wouldn't say that it's the best tasting food that I've ever had. But it's not awful.

    The food is ok. The satellite has some really great options, and the business school has a starbucks on the top floor which is really nice.

    I'm not sure how you would rate the food, but it was about average. On the flip side there are tons of restaurants on campus to choose from.

    I decided on an apartment to cut the cost of the meal plan. I love to cook so that can save me a lot of money.

    Unfortunately I did not join any fraternities because I always worked part time. However, I highly recommend you do join one because they are a lot of fun and great for networking.
