    While the main dining hall serves okay food the main attraction of the on campus meal system is the meal transfer. You can 'transfer' one of your upstairs meals for any of the transferable options at one of the other food places on campus. As of this year that includes a generic burger joint, a meal replacement Yogurt place, Chinese, Subway, and Papa John's. There is also a Starbucks on campus, you cannot transfer for coffee, but it is still a great place to get coffee.

    Food and dining options here are pretty large for the most part. UNK offers convenience meal plans and plans for on-campus students, so it is very nice that you can always eat here. There are a variety of options including Asian, fast food, Subway, and pizza places.

    The food is not the best you'll ever have but the cafeteria has a lot of choices so you never get bored of the same old. Plus they have five different restaurants and many off campus restaurants close by.

    There are plenty of options available for dining. It is a little too pricey, especially since we're college students, but that's why scholarships are a blessing.

    The best thing about this place is that diversity can find traditional organizations here on campus and can find multicultural organizations too. What makes UNK different than other universities is that we have UNITY.

    The Greek community here is one of a kind. The friends are real, the chapters can come together to be one family, and the connections and people you meet will get you far in life.

    I heard it is a lot of fun. They have a higher GPA than the rest of the school but they are always doing different social events. They really know how to balance social life and school.

    As part of a Latina Greek Organization (Lambda Theta Nu Sorority Inc.) I totally recommend joining one. I've met so many wonderful ladies and worked on so many community service projects. We also work together with the other Greeks on campus to make our community a better place, to raise our gpa's and be great role models. The whole stereotypes that exist about Greek life are not true. With my sorority we have to keep our grades up and one of our activities that we are required to do is study hours at the library so If am not in class people can find me at the library or doing any other community service event.
