    Food and dining could be enhanced. The food at the University of Nevada Reno is mediocre. I would suggest adding more of a variety to choose from.

    It could have been better. The downtown food was good, if I had the money to sustain it. Stay away from the cafeteria eggs, or your roommates will hate you.

    Lots of options all over campus: Starbucks, Panda Express, Port of Subs, Keva Juice, Einstein Bagel Bros., Cantina del Lobo, Outtakes, Peet's Coffee and Tea, the Overlook, Elements, the Downunder Cafe, and more.

    From my limited experience the food on campus is pretty good. There are options from Mexican restaurants to Chinese food. It is all affordable and man of the places to eat have great views of the city or the lakes on campus.

    For the food on campus, it really isn't bad. The meal plan that I have allows me to eat at a buffet style cafeteria with foods ranging from salad to burgers to a bunch of desserts. The store right next to the cafeteria is open late and the macaroni and cheese is just bomb!

    I will have to be honest, the food from the Downunder Cafe is horrible. First-year students living on campus must buy a meal plan and many students don't even use it because the food is so bad. Some of the other food options on campus are great, but definitely stay away from the DC.

    The food starts off really good but when second semester hits the cooks really don't care. they have suggestion boxes but I doubt that the suggestions get read by anyone. It took me three weeks of sending emails daily to the dinning manager to get regular peanut butter back, they ran out and never ordered more.

    From the many choices of campus dining options, the best has to be the overlook. You look out over Manzanita Lake and down Virginia street to down town Reno. During the winter the Lake is frozen and the snow falling is breath taking.

    I'm not a member, but I know 2 people who are, and they love it. It makes them VERY busy, but they seem to enjoy it regardless. There is 0 tolerance for hazing, and I've never heard a complaint about any of the greeks thus far.

    I hate frats and sororities so i stayed clear of them, i guess its pretty big at UNR but i think its for people who aren't confident enough to make friends on their own.

    Greek Life at UNR is its own family. Many schools have little or no control over what they do. UNR has control over the Greek Life and once a month they all meet and gather to hangout and put their rivalries aside.

    The Greek system in the past year has undergone a lot of changes with Pi Phi and Lambda Chi being expelled from campus Greek life for five years due to hazing. The houses that still stand hold great rush events and have really admirable philanthropies.

    Fraternities and Sororities are prominent on campus, but membership is not necessary to get the most out of your time at UNR.

    Lots of it, its encouraged. If its your forte, go for it because there are scholarships for it as well as some interesting people in them.

    Honestly its nice to rush and see how Greek life is, but its not something for everyone. So anyone wanting to be involved should rush to get to see if they like it.
