    The food and dining at the university is awesome! There are a number of options and you are constantly aware of how much money you are spending as well as how much ,money you have left. The money on your meal plan can be used at the dining halls, on campus, at various coffee stands on campus, and even at local markets.

    Despite the amount of grease, and lack of selection, WSU dining is above and beyond compared to any high school lunch one has ever had. The dining halls are clean and always stocked with napkins and utensils. The menu offers meals for those with allergies or are on diets of any sort.

    There is a small cafeteria open through dinner time. They have a nice variety: soups, sandwiches, burgers, stir fry, coffee. It is clean. Manager's goal is to provide high quality and healthy choices. It is tasty. They have tables outside. If you have a car and a spare half an hour you can drive to the plazas nearby which have many food joints. I wish the cafeteria was bigger. They also have ready-made sandwiches in the fridge if you don't want to wait.

    You'll need to take the bus or car to go to Walmart or a restaurant. If you're a picky eater like me, then you're going to hate the dinning centers. Southside dinning center is the best. They have small little stores next to the dinning centers so you can buy snacks, soup, and dairy products on campus.

    I ate at Southside which I found to have descent food. The breakfast's were really good but I did get sick of the food by the end of the year but nothing to really complain about. At least I was eating three full meals a day.

    There is no unlimited meal plan despite being a D1 sports school, which is pretty surprising. However, there can be a large selection of various foods depending on which dining hall you are at such as steak, sushi, salmon, monthly specials, etc. The specials that occur each day are worth looking in to.

    Greek life is very well rounded and full of action. Many students say it changed their lives for the better. Greek life gets students involved with philanthropy and the school in many ways.

    Interesting. It's really good for making strong friendships and staying social. It's easy to become a recluse in your dorm room. It's not always easy, but most of the time it seams the Greek students are enjoying themselves.

    WSU has one of the largest Greek Life systems in the state and it is a constant source of networking, as well as brotherhood. Though Greek Life can have it's strengths it is important to keep in mind that there is a large amount of partying at certain fraternities and sororities, and the environment can change you in a negative way if you don't know who you are yet.

    Greek life is a good way to meet tons of great outgoing people. The do just as much stuff in the greek community as they do outside of it. There are stereotypes about greek people but they are absolutely not true.

    The Greek Life for the most part is the typical stereotype of frat guys and sorority girls. Although this may be true, everyone I have encountered are beyond friendly and welcoming.
