    There is the traditional Cafeteria but there is also plenty of other options on campus. You will never have to eat the same thing more than once a week. The choices are many and the places great dining choices for friends or solo dining.

    The food is better than Roman noodles every day. You have a option of creating your own food most of the time. You can grab food to go if you don't have time to sit. There are many establishments around you can eat at if you don't prefer the cafe food.

    Due to my academic program, I am required to get a meal plan. The food at the Cafeteria is passable most of the time. If the choices of the day suck, there's always the salad bar, sandwich bar, pizza bar, and dessert bar. The cafeteria is cheap even if you don't have a meal plan and is all you can eat. I do like that the meal plan also comes with a prepaid card you can use at any of the stores and restaurants affiliated with the campus.

    UMKC has a lot to offer, especially in the Student Union. All over campus there are little dining areas offering top line coffees and pastries. In the Student Union there is a coffee shop, a Mexican Restaurant and an Einstein's bagels. The little dining areas offer packaged snacks like chips and cookies, bottled sodas and the catering company's pastries (delicious).

    The food is average at the cafeteria, but there are other places for you to eat on camp ash as Chick Fil A and Einstein Bagels. Depending on the meal plan you get, you get money to spend at these restaurants, so when the food at the cafeteria is not up to par, you still have other options available to you.

    I did not go Greek, but a few of my friends have. They love it. There are always activities going on for the sororities and the fraternities. Also, Greek Life is another way to meet new people and life-long friends.

    UMKC has a very active Greek life, and there are many sororities and fraternities on campus. I have never been to any meetings, so I do not have very much information about the organizations. However, most Greek life organizations at UMKC are focused on developing the local community, so they are not very stereotypically party party party organizations.

    One thing I was surprise to find, upon coming to UMKC, is the vast involvement with Greek Life. The fraternities and sororities are not nearly as large as they are at bigger universities, but the percentage of students involved in Greek Life is still pretty high.

    Greek life is a big part of campus but it is by no means the soul of UMKC, so if it isn't for you it won't be overwhelming.
