    New Orleans is really a city full of ethnic diversity with its French, Caribbean, African flair. There is an abundance of soul food, and creole favorites that span from neighborhood corner stores, in to places for fine dining. Manchu's and Cheesecake Bistro tend to be among my favorites. For those that like to stick with the traditional cuisine, no fear for there are plenty of chain restaurants there as well. Maybe takes a chance and try one of the city's most acclaimed Po-boy sandwiches. You won't be disappointed. There is something here for everyone whether you're vegan, kosher, ethnic or looking for something unique.

    It's not the best, and it's not the worst.

    Staffed by Sodexo, its pretty basic food. Nothing that's gross or anything, but its not 5 star restaurant.

    The food in the cafeteria is a hit or miss. Personally, I like the fish dishes. There isn't a wide variety of foods, but you get used to it, or go spend money elsewhere.

    The food in the cafeteria is pretty good. Sometimes, it tastes a little bland, but after adding salt and pepper it usually tastes appetizing. There are also coffee, poboys, and smoothie shops on campus. Off campus, there are plenty of restaurants to choose from that are nearby.

    The Cafe doesn't have the best reputation for the best food but it's tolerable. If all else fails there is always Jazzman's cafe!

    The food is good and cheap for those living on campus. They have something different yet they have catfish Friday and Red Beans and Rice Monday, unless it's the other way around. The consistency helps us to keep a balanced diet and we never have to guess what we're eating on Monday and Friday. Dinner isn't as tasty as lunch but it's still a balanced diet.

    I am a member of the Gamma Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. The Greek Life is not as exciting as I would like because we don't have very many active organizations.

    The Greeks always are throwing some kind of event, and they are all full of likeable people, so the events are pretty cool.

    Greek life is so-so at Xavier. Fortunately it has been improving, but it will never be anything you may see at larger universities.

    Greek Life is different here than at most HBCU's. The Greeks hold a lot of campus events but I would say if you have no interest in becoming Greek that their presence is not obnoxious.

    The greek life here isn't as huge as other schools, but if you want to pledge, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a fraternity or sorority that you'll like.
