    The food is surprisingly good. All food is collected / gathered / harvested / bought from local or nearby farms etc. For the most part, everything tastes good. If for some reason the menu on a particular day isn't for you, theres always pizzaâ??everyone's backup.

    Squires is a great place to grab some food at meal time. It is a social environment and enjoyed by all students due to its modern look. Wilkerson and Terrace are also good places to eat; however, they are a bit run--down. No matter where one chooses to eat, it is the staff that is phenomenal! They are very friendly and by the end of the year may have even memorized your usual.

    The food is okay. We're supposed to be the healthiest campus in the U.S. but the only healthy option is the salad bar.

    Food and dining isn't going to be exactly like Mom or Grandmas cooking, but the Chefs at the University of North Dakota try very hard to close that gap. We are presented with a variety of options of what to eat and they even host events such as cultural nights where we can experience foods of other cultures such as Indian food or Thai food. At the dinning areas we have many options for salad bars along with jello, pudding, fruits, vegetables, and over 50 choices of cereal. You could go all semester without eating the same thing twice and still be satisfied!

    Everyone complains about the dining center food here, however, I have yet to have a problem with it and rather enjoy eating there every day.

    Sometimes you get tired of the food at the dining center. I have to say sometimes it does get old but the good news is that we have Old Main Marketplace on campus that has sbarros, dakota deli and A&W that you can use dining dollars to get.

    The dining center here on campus are excellent. They have done an excellent job at providing students with a variety of foods. They also use a great program that educates students as to what foods are healthy inside the dining centers. This is great at preventing that freshman 15 we all want to avoid!

    Greek life is a big part of UND. You can't walk 50 ft without seeing those Greek letters! If that is something you look for in a college, UND is a very good place for that.

    Greek life is awesome! The fraternities and sororities are very involved with the local communities and the campus. Parties and formats are always fun. Lambda Chi Alpha is the best fraternity!
