    When you first get to USF you will be pretty happy with the dining halls and want to go there often. Then, as the year goes on you will start to push away from the dining halls more and more. At one point, everyone just wants to eat off of campus. However, the dining halls will notice this and then really step up their game. By the end of the semester you will actually be okay with the dining halls again.

    The dinning recently had quiet a few poor reviews from the students. The school dealt with these complaints and the dinning by the end of the year had improved immensely.

    While there are many choices for on campus dining, the dining halls are healthy enough but they don't serve different things. Everyday it seems like they have made the same things. Also the meal plan is way to expensive.

    Food in the dorms isn't horrible but also isn't amazing. However, outside of the dorms there are a lot of places to eat and drink such as starbucks (we have 2 on campus), chick-fil-a, burger king, etc.

    The dining halls can be either your best friend or worst enemy. The dining halls have food ready for you, breakfast lunch or dinner, all you can eat which is one of my favorite things about it. There are also other food chains around campus at your expense which is good also!

    The dining halls on campus have a good variety of options, and they have recently undergone several improvements. Besides dining halls, there are lots of other restaurant options on campus, including a newly opened Pollo Tropical. The college really takes students' opinions seriously and considers their suggestions when making changes.

    Dining halls located conveniently close to residence halls. Subway, Pollo Tropical, Papa John's, and many more are located around campus and in the student center

    There is a thriving Greek life on campus located in Greek Village. It is situated on canpus so that those who partake in Greek life have space to do so but also so that those who do not are not bothered by it.

    There are a wide range of Greek Associations who participate in many philanthropies and Networking events. On campus Greek Housing is very nice, but many fraternities have houses off campus.

    Phenomenal! I joined a sorority my freshman year and it was the best decision of my life. It has taught me how to be a leader and has given me so many opportunities. I have done so much unexpected networking because of how many people I have met through Greek, taken up positions in my chapter, and made life-long friendships. Chapters at USF have won numerous awards nationally. I would recommend Greek Life at USF to anyone!
