    Food is great and there is a ton of options. Dining hall hours are not the best but the dining halls are in the best locations.

    The food is not bad, though it does get old after awhile. There are three dining halls, with Hilltop being the main freshmen dining hall. Wells is nearby, which is around the same quality. York is a slightly far walk and is located near the upperclassman dorms, but has better food. Overall, I miss the dorm food now that I am living on my own off-campus.

    The food at Umaine dining halls are decent. It depends on your taste as well as the day of the week (certain days have different items), but there are marketplaces located on campus for those of you who just want a bowl of ramen or a hot pocket. Also, there are many pizza places located just off campus and they all deliver right to your dorm.

    I love the diverse choices you get from the dining halls here. The most important for me is that the fruit and veggies are fresh, making it easy to eat healthy. And the stir-fry is the best I've ever had.

    The food is actually not bad for a college. They do put very odd spices on some stuff, but you can find food without it. Stir-fry and pasta bar are must haves, but only if you're willing to wait in line for them.

    Food and dining areas are top of the line, and there are many dining places around campus. You can find literally anything you need in any one of these places.

    Can't really speak for this as I'm not in a frat, but there are plenty of fraternities who are always willing to accept new pledges.

    College Ave. is filled with fraternities. If Greek life is for you then there is a large amount of frats to choose from. There are also several sororities on campus as well but they do not have a house for them to live in.
