Campus Life

Food is great - a lot of options!

From the Yum Shoppe to True Grits, the dining offers a varied selection of good foods and snacks. Food plans are easily obtained through the college and hours of operation are very convenient for students regardless of class times.

The food is tasty for a college campus. There are plenty of venues to choose from including the dining hall, Chick-Fil-A, Starbuck's, Au Bon Pain, Wild Greens salad bar, Jow Jing Chinese Cousine, Salsarita's Mexican Cousine, and more.

The food on campus is okay, there's nothing special about any of it. The dining hall is decent, and it where I go when I want to make sure I am getting all my vegetables! The Commons has a larger variety with mini restaurants like Salsarita's, Mondo's Subs, a salad bar, etc...

The choice of food is very limited and expensive.

True Grits is decent, it is the main dining hall the food is the best during Welcome Week so make sure to eat there during that week. Also if someone says 'D-Hall' they are referring to True Grits. Sometimes the food at True Grits doesn't go together or is not good at all. Luckily the pasta/pizza station does not change so it is a good default. There are places to eat outside of True Grits, such as Jow-Jing (asian food), Salsaritas (mexican food), The Grill (Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, etc...), Chick-Fil-A and Starbucks....there are more food places but the important part is to know that the ones outside of True Grits close at 6pm and are not open on weekends except Salsaritas( stays open everyday later than True Grits). True Grits also has something called Late Night which starts and ends at 2 am Sunday-Thursday, they have pretty good food at late night. Also Flex dollars, okay this had to be explained to me like 35345364674547 times but heres the explanation if you get food and it goes over the price of a meal (conversion is $5.50) then the remainder of the cost goes into your flex dollars. The Flex dollars will creep up on you, I ran out of Flex the middle of the semester and regretted it during finals when I was up late studying and wanted food, but couldn't spare a meal. Be careful!

Dining hall is alright. They have themed days to spice it up a bit where the food will be from a certain area of the world. There is also a sub place, burrito place, salad bar, Chick-fil-a, Starbucks, sushi/ Chinese food place all on campus. Off campus, you have sooo many options around Baltimore.

There are many options of where to eat at UMBC including the dining hall, the Commons (which has fast food type places), the University Center (which has Chik-fil-A and Starbucks), and the Administration building. The dining hall has vegan/vegetarian options as well as a salad bar and desserts. The way that meals and meal plans work is pretty fair for the most part.

I visit friends here almost once a week and definitely the worst part is the food.

There are different options for dining- The Commons and True Grit (the dining hall). On weekends, only dining hall and a burrito place is open. There are two stores (Outtakes and The Yum Shoppe) for if you don't want to use a meal but want food for later. There are also restaurants in the area.

DO NOT JOIN!!!

not as large as most colleges. Offers a couple frats and sororities for students who are set on belonging.

There are several sororities and fraternities on campus. Each one is unique in their own way, but they all act like a family when together. If you love to meet people and love social interaction, UMBC's greek life is definitely the way to go. They are constantly raising money for charitable causes, and having fun while doing it.

I don't know much about the Greek life. I always see them in the breeze way fund raising. We have 4 of the divine 9, but we also have a Jewish Frat, a christian Frat/Sorority. There is always some diversity to be found at UMBC.

Virtually non-existent

From what I've heard, Greek Life is a bit more than just partying and getting drunk at UMBC. There is one particular fraternity that gives you tons of connections, from SGA to being an ambassador for Google. Being part of Greek life gives you connections, which is the major thing in my opinion (and of course a little partying here and there).

There are sororities and frats for all types of people. There are the traditional panhellenic ones and minority-interest ones.

Couple of greek orgs but too many. Not many students are into greek life but if you are their may be what your looking for

The frats and sororities that have houses have them off campus, in Arbutus mostly. Nearly everyone can find a group that they want to fit in with. It just depends on whether or not they want you and if you want to devote your time and money.

Greek is not a huge deal here. We have fraternities and sororities. Our sororities do not have houses however, and the whole thing is very quiet.
