    The food here is just like any cafeteria because it could be better. I am thankful that I get fed, but for how much I am paying per meal it should be much better.

    Bob's is pretty good, it gets boring at times but I miss it when I am at home. The other places offered one campus is really good.

    Campus dining has many options including the all you can eat cafeteria. Students buy mealplans or just pay with cash, but there is dining options all over campus, including a coffee shop and a Denny's. The cafeteria is right in the middle of the dorms so it is easy access to students living on campus. Everywhere has good food and is relatively worth the money you pay.

    Bobs, well not a lot to describe it. It is like any cafeteria. It is more about quantity more than quality. The food is digestible and keeps you going. The food doesnt really have any spices to it.

    Greek life is very prominent on campus but the people in it are hardworking students. They have to keep a certain GPA and they also have to do extra activities like clubs and community service.

    I am involved in greek life and absolutely love it. It is by far one of the best decisions I have ever made. The whole greek community is there for one another and there is always something to do.

    There is a gap between residence halls and greek life, so those students that live in the residents halls do not know much about greek life and vise versa.

    The Greek system is a strong component of the student population. Over half the student population is in the Greek system, and academics are a high priority for each house, as well as campus involvement and personal growth. There is a house for everyone, and everyone is generally welcoming and helpful.

    I personally don't live in the Greek housing, but I have heard very good things about it. It feel that it would be worth taking a look at. If you don't like it, there's still other options out there for you.

    Greek Life is great here. A very close knit community that reaches out to the Moscow community and helps out in anyway they can.
