    If you think that college food is like high school food, you're so wrong. Especially at USF, the food is great, and real. It doesn't taste processed and that's because it's not. They also have healthy and fit options for those watching what they consume.

    By far the worst food on campus is the dining hall. I used my expensive meal plan (that you are required as a freshman to purchase) maybe ten times my entire freshman year and haven't entered a dining hall since. There is even a Facebook page dedicated to posting pictures of the less than appetizing food. We do have other options on campus like Chick-Fil-A and Pollo Tropical that are great.

    Recently the University of South Florida got new management for the dinning services. The food used to be not that great, but now it is fantastic! Especially Juniper Dinning and Champion's Choice.

    As a commuter, I ate mostly in Marshall Student Center, which was delicious, clean, and had fast and friendly service. The dining halls are always clean, semi-empty, and have fresh food when I go, which is rare.

    There is more than enough food on campus as well as around campus. You have everything from subway to chick-fil-a to panda express on campus.

    The dining options are good but nothing fantastic or around there. The food is just about average if you're eating the dining halls. The fast food retaurants on campus are not so bad either.

    I haven't personally looked to far into Greek Life, so there's not much I can say. But I've heard the Greek Life on campus abides by a strict no hazing rule, so that may appeal to those who are a bit afraid to join Greek Life because of hazing.

    As a member of Greek life, going through recruitment has been the best part of being at USF. You meet so many people and there is always something to do and someone to study with. There's an organization for everyone! We don't have traditional houses or a fraternity/sorority row. We do have very new houses which are much cheaper to live in than other schools and we have Greek Village- meaning all the houses are together!

    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.
