    The food really improved from the beginning of the school year. They offer gluten free, vegetarian, and lactose-free options. The committee that makes decisions regarding the dining options actually listens to feedback.

    Great food off campus in terms of restaurants. On campus, the food varies on a day to day basis. Some days aren't worthy of eating at some places.

    It is definitely better than cafeteria food but it is not great, and the only problem is that by the end of the semester you have had a little too much of the same, they do however offer more than one place for eating which is nice and helps you switch it up. Plus some of the options offer much better food.

    As far as dorm food goes, I enjoy the food at La Crosse. The Whitney Center has many different options and The Cellar has more of a restaurant feel to it which is fun. Great food too!

    There was a recent change this year in the company that deals with the dining service. My first year I appreciated the dining options but this year it has taken a turn for the worse as there are lesser options. The new system seems to favor the Block Plan versus just the regular fixed Plan. I hope it improves, but in its current standing I am still not very happy.

Student Responses to Review Topic: Greek Life

    Personally, I am not involved in Greek life but I do now that these organizations help out with a lot of events on campus. Greek Life recently helped out with the pageant Mr. UWL. I have two friends who are in Greek life, one is in a sorority and one in fraternity. The amount of time you have available and money you are willing to spend affects your decision greatly. The sorority my friend is in doesn't meet too often so she has plenty of time to do other things, while still being connected to the girls and community. The men in the fraternity my other friend is in hang out a lot, either in their free time or at events/meetings. It is truly like a separate community and second family.

    This is really not as big there as many other campuses, but of course if you want to join a sorority or fraternity you can easily, they are there, just not as big as on other campuses

    Technically there are no housed fraternities or sororities, though I have been to one frat house. For the most part, Greek life is nonexistent.

    I am currently looking into Alpha Xi Delta which is one of the sororities on campus. They are super friendly girls and do a lot for not only the university but, for the community.
