    Virginia Tech was ranked #1 in college food by the Princeton Review for two years in a row. Where else can you eat Japanese hibachi or lobster at your local dining hall?

    Without a doubt, the best food in the country. Normally, college students say they miss their mother's cooking; I can't say I did.

    The food is delicious. Virginia Tech is rate number one for their dining services. There are many places to dine at. There is a wide variety of food choices.

    Boudreaux is a wonderful cajun restaurant. Cabo Fish Taco has great Mexican food, and it's affordable. Moe's is even more affordable, but still great, especially if you're on the go.

    The food is something to behold; every meal will amaze you and having five places to chose from is more then helpful.

    As a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, I can say that Greek life played a key part in my first year at school, as well as the lives of many other students. There were 37 kids on my floor freshman year - 18 of them pledged a fraternity, and my RA was in one himself. Most girls also make the decision to join a sorority, which I know they all loved.

    The Greek Life is great. I am currently in a fraternity and joining has been one of my best decisions at Virginia Tech. It's a plus to know that I have a brotherhood that is always there to support me.

    During my visit I saw the induction of two Greek groups new members. It was very interesting and a sight to see for yourself.

    If Greek Life is something you want to get involved in, VT has an excellent program but it also does not run the campus so students do not feel forced to join.

    There are a ton of greek organizations to join on campus. Including the first multicultural sorority in the nation, Mu Sigma Upsilon Sorority, Incorporated!
