Campus Life

The food provided by the University's dining services is awful. However, there are many restaurants in walking distance that provide a wide variety of food options, from Mediterranean to Thai and, of course, Chipotle.

The food at the South Campus diner is better quality than the food at the North Campus diner. You will eventually get sick of the diner food but that's why we have tons of restaurants right outside of campus!

The food can get repetitive but it isn't necessarily bad. You get sick of it quickly but there are many restaurants in walking distance if you need a break from the dining halls.

I've only tried the diner food once, and it wasn't that bad. However, I've heard from students that it isn't too healthy. Also, food at school can be quite costly.

Food is also average. It might take a little while to figure out what you like, but there is something for everyone. The diners might get boring, but Stamp is always a good option.

I would say that the dining halls are satisfactory. The food is not healthy most of the time, and many times people run out of dining points much earlier than when the semester is over. The food is a bit pricey for the quality, but there are some good tasting things that are available. It is also great that in one of the diners there are vegan options.

The dining halls really try to make things interesting. However, after a year of eating the same food you start to order out more often.

The food is one of the worst qualities of UMD. The options are very limited, and many of them are unhealthy, like french fries, chicken tenders, pizza, and desserts. Everything is fried or soaked in salt and grease.

There are a lot of different food opitions available on campus in the dining hall and other places on campus, meal plans are a big help for freshmen. There is Subway, salad bar, seafood and fast food style.

FOOD IS DECENT. LOTS OF OPTIONS. GO TO THE CO-OP FOR HEALTHY, ORGANIC FOOD.

Greek Life is it's own community at Maryland. You know who's in Greek Life and you'll want others to know you're in Greek Life. Many students who are not a part of Greek Life feel somewhat left out.

Greek Life is pretty big on campus.

There is a big presence of greek life on campus, and they do a lot to contribute. As someone in greek life I have seen the impact that they have made to the campus, and it seems to be a good one.

You can avoid it or join it!

Greek Life is becoming a large part of UMD. Unfortunately for those who are not in Greek Life, nightlife is very limited. Greek Life keeps to themselves in a way.

I AM NOT A PART OF THE GREEK LIFE, BUT THERE ARE MANY SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES AVAILABLE TO JOIN.

Only about 13% of the school is greek, and I have never felt the pressures to join a sorority. Sure, some of my friends are in them, but they still leave time for me. Also, 13% of a school this size is a very small number, so keep that in mind.

I love being Greek! SYZ all the way (:

I don't know much, though my dorm is near Greek row and the noise can be ridiculous.

Greek life is very much alive in Maryland, but if its not for you there is not pressure to join!
