    The prices aren't bad and it is cheaper if you buy a meal plan or take advantage of their promos to put VSU bucks on your account and get extra dollars for free. The campus has a wide variety of food selections such as: Nathan's hotdogs, Chic-fil-a, Starbucks, a buffet style dining hall, Moe's Southwestern Grill, Pizza hut, a yogurt shop, and more restaurants in the admissions building.

    Several different meal plans are available, which is convenient. I know all of the cafeteria workers by name, they're very friendly. The food is great, and there's a large variety to choose from. Papa John's, Chick-fil-a, Moes, Starbucks, Nathans, Pinkberry, and other options are available on campus for reasonable prices. In addition, several local restaurants deliver to campus.

    There are lots of places to fuel up if you're hungry. There are also BlazerBucks which is tax-free credit that we as VSU students can use to buy food from the various restaurants on campus if you aren't in the mood for the cafeteria food. If you are in the mood for a meal, then Palms Dining and Hopper Dining are the places to be.

    Valdosta State University has a large selection of eateries on campus. They continue to add more based on student demand. We regularly receive surveys about campus life, and they really take our wants into consideration. My favorite place to eat on campus is The Loop. You can even use your meal plan to buy Starbucks in the Student Union!

    The Greeks on this campus represent the elite students on VSU's campus. The Greeks set the standard when it comes to grades and community service. The Greeks are keep the VSU campus rolling as far as involvement goes.

    I am not a part of greek life at Valdosta but there are many choices for students who are considering it. At VSU, you can always see greek activities going on. Everyone who is a member of a fraternity or sorority on campus seems to love it.
