Campus Life

The food is ok, could be improved by having more variety.

Food is good at first, but its just the same thing over and over.

The cafeteria is something that needs to be worked on. Although the renovations to the cafeteria are magnificent, the quality of the food can lack. Sometimes they have food that is quite tasteful and filling, and other days you don't even know what is on your trey.

The dining services are very diverse. There are many places on and around the campus that cater to various needs and tastes.

The dining center has great options, but it's expensive.

I only had a meal plan on campus for one semester before I moved into my sorority house. But from my experience, the meal plan wasn't the best. There weren't a lot of vegetarian options, the dining hours weren't very flexible if you had late classes, there weren't a ton of healthy options, and a'la carte items are so expensive. But it is nice that it's a buffet so you can eat however much you want, there are yummy desserts, the soups are good, and the salad bar is awesome! Also, there's a mocha machine, that rocks too. You can also swipe a meal and take a sack lunch whenever you need to and get apples and stuff whenever, plus your meal card works on vending machines and the cantine, so that's nice too.

Dining is amazing they have plenty of options in the cafe even for vegetarians. If you get tired of cafe food you can always jump over to chik-fil-a or subway on campus as well as a Starbucks on campus. There is also a sit down restaurant run by students called the hurricane hut.

There are good and bad characteristics about many things, and the Pat Case Dining Center at TU is balanced both. The food is great; a buffet that is dependable in the morning and rotated every day during lunch/dinner. Drink selection is amazing; coffee is available all day long. The price is not so great. You have to eat at the cafeteria or select to-go items if you want to eat. Meal plans vary, but the lowest plan with meals/week is 10 with a stipend of $150/semester. Otherwise, there are plans with a fixed # of meals/semester with a larger stipend, seeing as one will most likely run out of allotted meals before the end of 1 semester. There is a concept dubbed Gold Dollars, separate from dining dollars, that one can spend at partnered restaurants/establishments; this works similar to a debit/gift card system. I'm happy with the arrangement the school provides (minus the price).

The cafeteria isn't especially great, but in comparison to the usual cafeteria food, it's all right. The biggest problem is the price of the meal plan (required for 1st and 2nd year undergrads) which is way too high for the food they are offering. The food around campus is pretty good, though, with most restaurants being in Utica Square or on Cherry Street.

The campus cafeteria and activity center offer an incredibly wide variety of dining options.

Lots of drinking

Greek Life is a great part of the University. Rush is a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, get free food, and get to know a potential house that could grant you some interest. Being in Greek life means you get to create ideas for brotherhood events, community service events, philanthropy events, and sorority functions. The Greek Life at TU shows an entirely new social side to the campus that is work getting involved in.

I love Greek life. I have been in a sorority since the very beginning of freshman year and it has NOT been the only factor to define my life. Greek students actually have the highest overall GPA and the most active involvement on campus and in holding positions on campus, so you definitely won't fail out and become an over-partied kid if you join a house. Once again, you get out what you put into it, and I've devoted a lot to my sorority so I have gotten out a lot too. My best friends are all spread out in different houses and different groups on campus so no being in a greek house will not limit you. I recommend going Greek! :)

we have 15 sororities and 13 fraternities so there is plenty of Greek for everyone.

I don't participate in Greek Life, but it looks pretty fun. The organizations don't seem to be obsessed with being better than everybody else. Being able to say one was a part of these groups is probably great for resumes I suppose.

The Greek Life on campus seems to be a great way to meet new people and have fun. I am not in a sorority, but the houses seem to be great and very responsible.

I definitely recommend Greek Life to everyone! I'm heavily involved, and it is a little bit different than state schools. Fraternities here get along with each other, same for sororities.

I am not involved with Greek life myself, but I have heard from a lot of boys in fraternities and girls in sororities that their respective houses are very open, welcoming, and foster friendship and academic responsibility. They throw some pretty great parties, too!

Greek life thrives at TU, although less than 25% of people are involved.

I am not involved in greek life. My girlfriend is though, and she loves it.
