  • May-03-2013 I am a current student here

    I love the UNO cafeteria in the student center. There are plenty of options for everyone; whether it be Chinese, chicken, pizza, or sushi, there's something for everyone and it's not very pricey either.

    Mediocre, but a somewhat large variety to choose from. However, comparing it to the past university I attended/lived at, the options are pretty slim.

    UNO has several dining choices throughout campus. In the library,the student center, the performance gym, pretty much everywhere on campus. Not to mention that the school is very close to a commercial shopping area with many affordable food options.

    The campus has dining in several locations on campus and they always have specials. Additional off campus restaurants are plentiful as well. Many restaurants have deals for students like a percentage off your ticket.

    The student center has tons of options for food that students can use their MavCard to pay for, or a debit card/cash can be used as well.

    It appears that there are many varieties of food, but I am not sure of how much food I will need to buy myself as I have never lived independently.

    I am not part of a sorority, but again I have plenty of friends who are. They are all for joining one, and they all seem to agree that their sorority/fraternity helped them get through the tough times and even help academically.

    No idea about other languages, but I will probably learn about them soon, do to the fact that one of my teacher education endorsements at the moment is English as a Second Language.

    I don't know much about this aspect of UNO but I'm sure it's just as great as everything else about the campus.

    The Greek Life is not so popular at UNO, but for those who do not care about Greek Life (much like myself), this will not be a problem.
