    The food is good, but not anything spectacular. You may get tired of it quickly, but when you are really craving something it taste great.

    Compared to other schools in the Maryland University System, UMD certainly does not have the best. Though it is true it could be worse, there could be lots of improvements to quality and variety.

    There are 3 diners on campus. South Campus diner has better food while North Campus has more variety. There is also 251 North on North Campus which is buffet-style. 251 North is great!! The food is really good. In general all three diners end up serving the same thing within a month and a half's time so people tend to get tired of the food really easily. But for what it's worth, I like most of the food here.

    There are dining halls on either end of campus and students who live in a dorm are required to be on a meal plan. The plan also has credit to spend on on-campus restaurants/shops.

    The food is average. It is good the first week but gets exhausting later on. There are a lot of dining places on Route 1. If you are living in a dorm, UMD requires student to buy a dining plan.

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

    Greek life here is very popular for both men and women! The fraternities and sororities contribute a lot to the university and it's reputation for the various different philanthropy events they hold all year long. Whether you're looking for a social or professional organization, you will find it here!

    Not too familiar with the Greek Life since I am a freshman that has only gotten 1 semester under her belt. I have seen a lot of fraternities and sororities on campus.
