    The cafeteria always has good variety and theme. Our food court contains a burger place, a mexican place, a noodle bar, and a vegetarian kitchen.

    Chartwells ruins everyone's lives. How could anyone think it's a good idea to bring in a company that charges students $8.50 for a burger, fries, and a drink (no refills)? I mean, come on. I could rant about this for awhile, but I don't know if it would do much good. But I digress.

    The city of Asheville offers amazing alternatives to the campus food service; however, the food supplied by Chartwells is notoriously horrible.

    The food's great. Very, very healthy. This is a green school. It may take a while to adapt to the meals if you're a junk-food eater, but you can see results in energy and health quickly. The only problem with food is the price. Like the bookstore, they won't bat an eye when they raise the price.

    The dining hall has some pretty good options, but it's still cafeteria food and will probably upset your stomach. The other places to eat are pretty good but they are so expensive and will waste up your dining dollars. They do have good options for vegetarians and vegans, also.

    There is excellent food offered in Highsmith Union, burgers, sandwichs, tacos, all sorts. There is also a Cafe located in the library offering pastries and espresso drinks.

    Caf food is pretty bland after awhile, but it has great choices to the herbivores of the school. Coffee from Ramsey Cafe and a Tofu wrap from the Wellness Cafe makes my day.

    You can always find something tasty and healthy (probably vegan aswell) no matter what meal plan your on. people get adjusted to the great food then start complaining about small stuff taking for granted that we have some of the best food on any public university.

    While there are a few fraternities and sororities on campus, the reputation is nowhere near the same as at other schools. Greek life is active in community service and is also a very small fraction of the student body.

    greek life at unca is so different from other colleges. it is nothing like what you see in movies. the greeks are very nice people, and greek life at unca is both enjoyable and beneficial.
