    Platters is an all-you-can-eat buffet which is delicious and has a good variety every day. The only downside to Platters is that they are only opened during certain blocks of the day but most students should be able to get there on time if they wish.

    Platteville's dining varies by where you decide to eat, the student center is awesome. Platters the main cafe' is average but buffet style the market below cooks pizza, burgers, fries, calzones, etc. They are building a new buffet style cafeteria in the basement of the new dorms so it should be pretty good.

    You can buy burgers, brats, flatbreads, wraps, tacos, subs, paninis, asian food, chicken strips, and many other types of food on campus. If you are craving something you are able to find it here. There is also a small grocery store on campus which you can use your meal plan to purchase food. Off campus there is a McDonald's, Uno's, Subway, Quizno's, Asian Cafe, and two Mexican Restaurants. They are all very inexpensive and conveniently located. Platteville is also currently getting a Dunkin' Donuts and a Benvenudo's.

    The food isn't that bad. The Pioneer Haus has some good food, and the Pioneer Crossing has some great stations, including one that is similar to Subway.

    They offer a pretty nice variety of healthy and not so healthy food options. However, the limited dinning hours and small number of dinning areas can make getting your meals a bit challenging.

    There are a few Sororities and Fraternities on campus such as ZBX, KA�£, TKE, and a few others. They also have academic Fraternities. Although there are some people who enjoy Greek Life a lot it is not something that gives people social status which is good.

    As an incoming freshman I have already received many invites to Greek living. They take it serious yet fun. The Greek life at Platteville is actually pretty large.

    I'm not personally in a sorority, but a few of my friends are in fraternities and they really like it. There are the typical fraternities and sororities that sort of fit the stereotype, but there's also a lot that aren't what you'd expect.
