    There are a lot of food and dining options on campus and they are reasonably priced. They have anything from donuts and coffee to barbecued pork to pizza and deli sandwiches.

    The food on campus is actually pretty good. Of course, it is not like home cooked meals, but still good. If you want awesome deli, go to Plaza 900, awesome burgers are at Dobbs, and alittle of everything at Rollins. The dining services have different meals nightly and each place is different.

    Food is good but it is not quite the same as homemade food. The dining halls offer a large variety of foods so there is something for everyone.

    Greek Life is pretty popular at the University of Missouri. Almost 1/4 of the student population is in a fraternity or sorority. I am not a huge fan of greek life, personally, but it has provided wonderful opportunities to many of my closest friends.

    Greek life is amazing. I have found a sorority in which I feel at home in and the girls I have met are definitely going to be lifelong friends. Going through rush is exciting as well as you learn more about yourself and the type of people you truly belong with. I would never consider not doing Greek life. Also, the philanthropies that each house has gives back so much to the community and it feels great to make a difference.

    Almost everyone at Mizzou seems to be Greek. Greek life dominates campus and is a great way to meet people. Even if you aren't Greek, there are many organizations and ways of meeting people while gaining future connections.
