Food service on campus is great and easily accessible. The dining hall is centrally located and is very nice ans spacious. Also, the university center has dining options as well. This provides another accessible food location. There are many options for a variety of nutritional needs.
» Read MoreI love the assortment of food that is offered on campus!
» Read Morethere could be a couple more options for food, but everything is great quality and decent prices as well.
» Read MoreI try to be health conscious and the food selections are not very accomodating
» Read MoreThey have a great variety of dining options!
» Read MoreThere needs to be more dining options especially healthy options. The dining areas seem to be in one part of campus. Another dining hall should be set up closer to the library for those that spend hours there. The Starbucks is a lifesaver but I feel there should be another one closer to the library.
» Read MoreThe food options are getting much better here. They are coming out with better healthier options on campus, and there is also already a wide variety of all types of foods. I don't seem to get tired of the food options here.
» Read MoreAs in high school, you have your basic foods, but there are also other restaurants like Papa Johns, and Panda express.
» Read MoreSomething for everyone...including meal plans!! Besides the dining hall, we have Chick Fill A, Papa John's, Einstein Bros., McAllister's, Panda, Burger Studio, etc.!!!
» Read MoreThe dining hall has decent food that you pay for with your meal plan and there are fast food restaurants downstairs from the dining hall, as well as in the UC if you get tired of it.
» Read MoreIm not part of greek life, but Western has a very good Greek program
» Read MoreI know it exists but I am not interested so I do not know more.
» Read MoreWestern Carolina has a big Greek Life. The problem is that is seems very cliquish. They tend to sit together in the cafe, hang out with one another, take the same classes together, join the same clubs. College is about being open minded and engaging in relationships with people that are different from you. This helps you in the real world and dealing with diversity. College is also a time to look within yourself and find out who you are and what you want to do.
» Read MoreThere are a lot of sororities/frats.....you have your choice!!!
» Read MoreThere is a great amount of Greek life on campus, you're sure to find a Sorority or Fraternity that fits you
» Read MoreGreek life does a lot on campus, as far as I have seen. You have some that are more popular than others but for the most part we have quite a few greek letter organizations. Every corner you turn, you will see someone who is apart of Greek life.
» Read MoreFrom what I have seen, Greek Life is very active. I know several people in fraternities and sororities, and they love every minute of it. They are always doing around something out on the lawns or in the quad and are usually all around campus. They are all very friendly and open, it's just a matter of which one fits you best.
» Read MoreGreat Greek life.
» Read MoreSo many different sororities and fraternities to choose from!!
» Read MoreNot involved in Greek life i can't comment
