The cafeteria was just redone in fall 2011, and the food court was redone for fall 2012. Both options have a wide variety of food to choose from and I like it all. Although I am not a picky eater, I know my friends who are always find something good to eat.

The food is exactly like any other college, Widener does a very nice job trying to create new dishes so you don't get bored and eat the same things over and over.

The dining room is great! Spacious and newly remodeled. There are many choices at once, but the food is repetitive.

The food at Widener is not exactly the best, but it does it's job. It is improving, however, the new addition to the Cafeteria is pretty amazing though. There is a new Subway, Burger Place, and other places to eat. This new addition is great!

13% of our student population is involved in Greek Life. I'm personally not involved, but most of my friends are and absolutely love it. Its something that if a student chooses to participate they have a great time in it, but if you are not involved in Greek Life there is still plenty to do.

Widener does have Greek Life, the university is not a big fan of it but it is popular and it is a lot of fun to be a part of.
