    Food and dining here is not really the best. For some people, it is considered unhealthy. Many people don't really mind though because they watch what they eat and eat in portions.

    There is a wide range of food to choose from. They do a great job of catering to dietary needs as well. The food mostly comes from campus gardens and animals.

    The food is terrible. The meal plan themselves are way too expensive for what they serve. There are many times where I go there and end up eating cereal because the rest of the food sucks so bad. The drink selection is great, and so are the desserts though.

    I've only eaten on campus a few times, but our University Center is amazing. The food is delicious and healthy. There is plenty of choices so you don't eat same things all the time and it is open for many hours at student's convenience.

    The dining hall always has something you'll like during the week for every meal, and you will always get your fill! The gluten free station is great if you have a gluten allergy, too, and is always well-stocked.

    There a multiple locations to choose where to eat, and many different choices when you get there. It is not always the same thing, unless you make it that way. The homemade ice-cream and other dairy products is a plus here at River Falls!

    The dining here is great! From visiting friends at other campuses I am grateful for our dining services. There are several buffet lines filled with different varieties of food such as pastas, salads, sandwiches, tacos, and two main meals everyday. Did I mention an ice cream buffet!?!! The agriculture department even makes our own ice cream!

  • Sep-10-2012 I am researching this school and have visited the campus

    The food I had when I visited was very good! There were so many options and they had cards that listed the ingredients for each item. I would not mind eating there for the next 4-6 years.

    The food at Riverside Commons is great, if you're a first year student, that is. They continuously serve the same meals every day and every week. Some of it is utterly unappetizing and bland. The normal fallback for any college student, pizza, is even a flop at Riverside Commons. The only plus side to the food here is the ice cream bar!!

    The Greek life here on campus is okay. Some have houses but not very many. The boys frats seem to be taking over the sororities.

    The Greek girls that I've been around and talked to all seem very eager and willing to welcome new girls into their sororities. They're very amiable and are never hard to approach and they're very accepting! They're always looking to recruit and love having a fun time with everyone.

    There are several sororities and fraternities located on campus and they are very involved with campus. I have friends in campus sororities and fraternities and they are always out and about on campus and in the community volunteering and making River Falls a better place to live!

    There are many sororities and fraternities available on campus that provide a sense of belonging to each student as well as friendship. Each one sponsors different events and does different activities throughout the year.

    There are four fraternities and five sororities to choose from. There are two off campus fraternities, but none of the sororities have off campus housing.

    There are two fraternities and we have a couple more looking to open a chapter on our campus. There are three sororities. There was four but Sigma Sigma Sigma had to close for a little bit but we are all excited to see them come back. We all hang out together and there is hardly any drama. The drama that does happen is like family drama between siblings. We are all very close and try and help each other out. One of my best friends is an Alpha Sigma Alpha, while I am an Alpha Omicron Pi. Our chapters are just the right size that you can get to know everyone of your sisters or brothers extremely close and still be able to know everyone else with in the other chapters. We are close knit.
