Eastern Michigan University Campus Life

Delicious foods!

Food is okay. It could be better but it is not the worst. If you ate at the college commons then you have a variety of choices since it is like a buffet and is actually quite cheap in my option. Now, there are more choices inside the student center and overall the food is okay and service is good. There is also a Starbucks inside the student center and my experiences there have been quite nice actually.

The food there is pretty good and really fills you up.

couple different options for food on campus, though they are spread out a bit. food was pretty decent haven't had any major issues with that besides the fact that they can be a little slow sometimes.

Eastern has many great options. Although they can get tiresome, there is a wide range of food to eat.

EMU has an admittedly good selection of food on-campus. The dining staff do their best to accommodate dietary restrictions like allergies, gluten intolerance, and vegan and vegetarian diets. There are also a number of meal plans to choose from depending on your budget and dietary needs. The Commons is an all you care to eat buffet area that features a different weekday. You can get pasta, homestyle food, grilled food, salad, cereal, toast, fruit, stir-fry - all sorts of things. It's a cozy atmosphere and a great place to grab lunch if you have a bit of time to kill between classes. The Eateries is more like a typical mall food court. Pizza, subs, chicken, burgers, fries, and even frozen yogurt can be found at different stations there. There are also different stands that are more like a convenience store - coolers with drinks and refrigerated items, a salad bar, a donut and bagel case, as well as candy, cookies, cereal, and chips. The selection doesn't change very much, which can make the Eateries feel overdone after a while. The different vendors also have different hours, which can be confusing. The Marketplace is where you can find a deli, a homestyle food place, and a convenience store. It's also home to Einstein Brothers Bagels. It's very convenient if you live in the Towers or the nearby Village Apartments or Cornell Courts. The Student Center has other options like the Green Market Bistro, Salsa Grill, and International Kitchen. It's also home to Subway, Wendy's and Starbucks. (Just a warning though: Wendy's and Subway do not accept university mealplans or flex dollars. Starbucks, however, will accept them, including for merchandise!) It can be a busy hub during weekdays and special occasions, so I wouldn't recommend it if you're short on time. There are also Eagle Cafes located in different buildings around campus. Here, you can grab some refrigerated deli options, drinks, baked goods and other snacks if you have only a short time between classes. They can come in very handy if you don't schedule yourself a good window for lunch.

The food is great. There is such a wide variety of choices. There are even gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options all over campus.

It's very college-friendly, you can access it quick, simply and easy. There are also quite a few diners around town that you can go to off of campus as well that are within walking distance.

Overpriced , with mediocre food. Portions are okay. Hours open are good.

The Eateries on campus are really good but the grease and be a bit much if you aren't used to it. The Commons dining area is also great if you want a home cooked kind of meal. Of course neither place is a four star restaurant, but they are definitely edible. Then you also have your Flex Dollars which you can spend at the Eagle Cafes and Lobby Shop.

Amazing

I am not involved in Greek life, but from what I hear it seems pretty great at EMU!

I'm not too sure!

There are various organizations on and off campus. If you decide to join, you will be able to connect with jobs through your organization's networking skills!

Greek life is a little different at Eastern because it is highly regulated. Fraternities and sororities are very close nit and everyone knows each other.

I'm personally not involved but off campus, there are many frats or sororities.

They are around campus but it is nothing too major. They do host nice parties especially the Ques. They also host events that does get people involved.

The Greek Life is alive here at Eastern. There are options galore, and anyone could pick from nearly a hundred fraternities or sororities.

Very respectful greek life. Not huge parties and trashy students.

Greek Life is good here. They have weekly meetings on Sundays and also they make you really get involved on campus. You meet a whole lot of new people in Greek Life and it gives you a bunch of leadership and social skills. This is mostly where the fun is in my opinion cause this is a group of people who have your back, who you can hang around with and become great friends with. You can create so many new experiences in Greek Life and expand your social network.
