    The University of Memphis was continually upgrading the dining areas and food restaurants that we had, so there were plenty of options if you had to eat on campus and had the meal plan options.

    The dining opportunities on campus are very good. Whether it's in the University Center cafeteria or the Tiger Den, you can get a good meal almost anywhere on campus.

    The dining hall is kept really well. It is a great place to get cozy with a nice, hot cup of cocoa and study.

    There's a Taco Bell, Subway, Chick-fil-A, CHINESE(personal favorite), and a lot more. Plenty of dining areas. There isn't crowds or long lines. It's a very relaxed atmosphere.

    Slowest food service staff ever! Takes ages to get a Subway, but it could be worse. Most of the food on campus is chain restaurants like Taco Bell, Burger King, Subway, etc.

    I recommend Greek Life. It is a great way to get involved in meet knew people. You can run for an office within your chapter and can have more responsibilities and have more opportunities by joining a chapter.

    The Greek Life at the University of Memphis is huge! If you want to be a part of the Greek Life there is a sorority/fraternity for you to join for sure. Everyone that is a part of these organizations talk very highly of them!

    The Greek Life here is taken very seriously but very respectfully. All of the Fraternities and Sororities support each other in there step shows and in any event that they throw.

    Pretty sad excuse for a greek life. The houses are run down and the so called parties are just a group of people standing around looking at each other while music blasts in your ear.
