    Xavier has recently built the Hoff Dining Commons which is great. There are many food options inside and you can eat as much as you want. They even have this new pasta station where you give the chef your ingredients and they cook it for you right there. There's also a sandwich station that makes basically any sandwich you like. If you don't feel like eating in there, there are plenty of food options on and around campus. Most in walking distance and some places like the nearby Chipotle take XCash which is money on your AllCard. Most pizza places deliver as well.

    There is one main cafeteria on campus which is beautiful and new within the last few years. There are many options for what kinds of food you can get and the overall quality is above average (compared to my visits to friends' schools and their visits to Xavier), however, the choices to become redundant after a few semesters. There are only a few other places to eat on campus, however, Rookwood Commons is only a couple minutes' drive away and offers more extensive food choices.

    For the most part, there is good food in Hoff. Sometimes the main dish is less than desirable, but you can't always get what you want. They always have the go tos that become favorites (like pizza or the sandwich line).

    The Hoff Dining Commons (or the Caf) is a brand new cafeteria located in the center off campus and is filled with great food and amenities. It's not quit momma's cooking, but it's the next best thing. There are also other on campus dining options like Subway, Currito (burritos), Andy's Mediterranean, the Coffee Emporium, and Ryan's Pub.

    Our cafeteria, or caf, is in its second year after moving locations. The workers are friendly, the space is always clean, the food isn't bad, and the atmosphere is just right! The dining room is split into seven different section each one trying to mirror the seven gifts of Ignatius. One section might have big booths when another as couches or smaller tables.

    Xavier doesn't have an official greek life, however, there are a handful of professional fraternities on campus. I am involved with Delta Sigma Pi, which is a business fraternity.

    We do not have much Greek life apart from some major specific fraternities, but no houses or a greek row like some schools. I like it that way.
