    Food on Midtown is greasy but they have a variety in their menu. Westside food tastes a lot better and is fresher, but the menu never changes.

    Sometimes it's really great, but that's rare. If you're vegetarian, good luck. If you're lactose intolerant, you're probably gonna starve.

    For a school trying to make a name for itself, it really tries to send kids home on the weekends. The main cafeteria closes at 7 each night, and between 1-2 on Fridays. The cafe is closed on the weekends, and the downstairs snack bar you have to pay for, it's not included in your meal plan, unless it's the weekend, and even then on Sundays it closes early. There are some restaurants nearby, but unless you have a car your choices are really limited.

    I have been actively involved in greek life for two years on this campus. The greek system is very small so on one hand it could be difficult to find your niche but once you do you literally know everyone so it is great.

    I'm not a Greek, but everyone seems to get along pretty well. A lot of the clubs work with the different fraternities and sororities, so everyone knows everyone.
