    Decent food but there's plenty of times where there's nothing to eat... On Sundays there's breakfast almost all day and they close around 6, weekdays at 8 which is SO frustrating considering some of us have class until 9 pm.

    The food is okay. I guess because I've almost been here 2 semesters I'm growing sick of the food. However, there are usually many options, they just don't change it up that often so you get sick of it.

    The dining would have to be the worst unless you like on South Campus where the chefs care a little more than in University Dining.

    Dining is continuously improving; alot of the cafeterias were remodelled or are in the process of being renovated. There are a few dining halls which are buffet style, but there are a few franchise restaurants within the school too, such as Starbucks, Sal's Pizza and Taco Bell. There is always a wide variety of food to choose from.

    The Dining hall was renovated this year and looks amazing. The food is at times good but is generally the same. In order to get into the dining halls you can use your points/meal plans which can also be used in other dinners affiliated with the school.

    I think UML's South campus dining hall is the best. I have not gone in the new fox hall dining hall, however, I have heard great things.

    There's not much variety but overall the foods decent. I've only been to one dining hall. Also, there are eating pods such as starbucks, einstien bagels, and subways.

  • Nov-01-2012 I am a current student here

    Greek life is now fully supported by the campus. It used to be an independent from the university. There are quite a few frats and sororities to choose from. They are quite diverse and the bond among these students are evident. It's not all about partying but also about volunteering and helping the community.
