    There are nice options in the student union for meals. They give you a variety from sandwiches, Chinese, Mexican, hamburgers, etc.

    The few times I've eaten on campus, it's been pretty good. Definitely better then high school cafeteria food!

    There is so many choices for food on and off campus. The food on campus is really good, and they give you good portions. Outside of campus the food again is really good. There are so many places to eat off campus, and not all of them are very expensive.

    There is a lot of options when it comes to dining. There is always a station that changes daily to weekly with different food options.

    The food is overall pretty good although I question how healthy it really is. If you don't have time to sit down, you can always visit the Corner Store to pick something up fast.

    The food at Washburn University's Student Union is very diverse. Of course Cheeseburgers will often fill the appetite of most any tired college student, including myself. The cafeteria at Washburn also offers an abundant menu for the health conscience student. I give Washburn's cafeteria four stars.

    I am a President of a local fraternity here at Washburn University, Alpha Delta. Joining greek life has been one of the greatest choices and experiences I have ever had. I have friends now that I will know for the rest of my life. So many fun things go on in our community and I enjoy every minute of it. There is no hazing or bullying and no alcohol is allowed on campus.

    I don't know much about our Greek life except that the houses are located close to the dorms. We also have a dry campus (which means no alcohol allowed on campus) so if you are looking for the drinking and partying type Greek life, this is not the place.

    not as selective as you would think. it's not just all the really attractive women and beer downing guys that are in these fraternities and sororities. for the most part they are just filled with you average college kids who want to be apart of something big! there are way more people in them than i would have expected!
