    Dining dollars are automatically put onto your Wright 1 card from your financial aid. This money being automatically budgeted throughout the semester gives students the ability to be worry free of having to provide food for themselves. Donatos Pizza allows students to use their swipes to buy any food item on their menu. The Hangar, located in Allyn Hall has food services such as Taco Bell, Burger King, a Deli, Pizza Hut and Skyline Chili. You can also find donuts, bagels, and hot cereal in the morning hours. The Student Union food court gives students the option to eat meals that are more home cooked. Pepsi products are available all over campus. Also select vending machines throughout campus allow students that have flex dollars on their Wright 1 card to swipe and receive food.

    The food at Wright State is quite good. There a couple basic fast food staples available on campus, but for those more health conscious individuals there are some great options that allow you to see your food being prepared in front of you.

    After the first couple weeks you get tired of the same food but its nice that they have healthier options than just fast food.

    Little day to day variety in the main cafeteria(Student Union Market) and the hangar on campus fast food is still pretty expensive as well. It does offer Burger King, Pizza hut, taco bell, and skyline.

    When I was moving onto campus, I was worried the food was going to be awful. However, I proved wrong. There are a LOT of dining options on campus and most of them are pretty reasonably priced. The Union Market (located in the student union) has a sub place, pizza and calzones, a stir fry place, a burger shop, soup and salad and a place called Chef's Kitchen which is the most expensive and has the nicest food. In the Union Market, there are also frozen meals and snacks you can buy at similar prices to convenient stores or gas stations. The other large dining facility on campus is The Hangar. In the Hanger, you will find Pizza Hut Express, Taco Bell Express, Burger King Express, Skyline Express, The Runway Deli and Simply To-Go(pre-made sandwiches, salads and sushi). There are also a few coffee shops around campus (In the library, student union). There is also a small cafe that has items similar to Starbucks. In other words - You won't go hungry at Wright State!

    The food is pricey, but there are plenty of healthy (and unhealthy) options. The best aspect is if you can get a good break, you can head to the mall and get some good food.

    Wright State is a young school and our Greek life isn't as strong as many of the traditional post secondary colleges. Recently many new lines have crossed and our Greek Life is growing. There are many events in which the Greeks will come and participate and even host. There are stroll offs and parties.

    Small, only 4 fraternities and 5 sororities. But definitely a welcoming community and incredibly supportive of each other.

    I recently saw the first recruitment and Greek life is overwhelming. Also, there is a strong emphasis on scholarship and service, so the Greek groups often collaborate with the honors organizations to encourage this bond.

    I chose not to go Greek so I don;t have much insight on this but WSU does have Greek life. There are 11 chapters I believe and I do praise WSU for their strict Greek rules. You don't have to live in the Greek house to be a part of Greek life and hazing is a HUGE no-no at WSU. Consequences include the demolition of the Greek chapter and immediate deferral from WSU with no tuition refunds.
