    The only good thing about the food here is the quiznos. Crooker cafeteria is low quality food (sometimes I think that they just throw together left overs), is way to expensive, and there are not a tone of choices. I know that this is a small school, but I expect more at a private school. The convenience store is not usually stocked, and is very small. The dining area is pretty nice though.

    The food is good but it is a bit monotonous. Quiznos can always give you some variety I suppose and maybe the Homestyle line but if you're looking in Crooker for something new, don't get your hopes up. Thankfully, it's all really good! If you just can't stand it, there's literally any restaurant you can think of (or something close to it) within ten minutes of campus.

    What else is there to say? During a semester, the meal plan is included for every residents. There are two different types of plans, and that depends on which residents hall a students decides to stay in. Better yet, the school has a place called Freshens on campus where students can stop by and get a cup of coffee to start the day, fruit blended smoothies, or perhaps even an energy drink to help study. But best of all is the small grocery place inside the cafeteria. They sell both hot and cold food along with ready-to-eat meals and a variety of snacks. Students can buy cereal and milk, frozen food, and fruits too. But among these edible products, the store also sell necessity for the dorm rooms such as cleaning products, sewing kits, Neosporin, band-aids, etc. But enough of that. If residents ever feel like eating out instead, the school lies close to other restaurants that they can walk to too!

    The food is tasty, and it is provided without the anxiety of gaining the dreaded Freshman 15. There is also a Quiznos on campus that offers a lot of choices!

    There are several places to eat on campus, especially in the cafeteria. There is also a Quiznos on campus, which is an awesome place to go if you get tired of cafeteria food. If you are wanting to go out to eat, there are hundreds of places within walking distance. Not to mention all the free food available on campus. It is IMPOSSIBLE to go hungry here.

    The dining room is really nice and there is always other students or professors you can hang out and eat with. The cafeteria has many options ranging from a salad bar to a grill. There is also a convenient store within the cafeteria with anything you may need. If you get bored with the cafeteria food, there is also a Quiznos, Starbucks, and Freshens smoothie shop on campus. The only downside is that the food and convenient store can be kind of expensive. The good news is that you pay for everything with your student ID so you never have to take out your wallet :)

    UST does not have crazy frats and sororities like you see in the movies. They have a business fraternity and a service/volunteering based sorority.
