Pretty Good, Very Pricey
On campus the food is pretty good with a lot of variety. There is usually always something new and delicious to try at Brooks, the buffet style dining hall, and if not there is always a salad bar, omelet making station, stir fry bar, sandwich station, and pizza to eat. Some people complain about the food, but those are usually the people that eat pizza for every meal.
The staff at the dining halls are unbelievably nice. They are always so cheerful, and the woman who swipes your card as you walk in knows almost every student by name.
The only issue is that food is extremely pricey. At McKinley's, the food court style dining hall, it's almost a dollar to buy an apple, and drinks and sides are pricey, so I only buy entrees and I get sneak my fruit from Brooks.

It Is Always Precipitating.
If it is not raining, it's snowing. Literally. The snow is kind of pleasant, if you find a constant gently falling snow to be a pleasant thing.

Good, but Ask for More.
I got a large financial aid package, but I've met some people who have called the school, told them it wasn't enough and they got better offers from other schools and got an extra couple thousand dollars. Go for it, it can't hurt.

A Mixed Basket
Greek life is defiantly alive on campus, and it's a pretty mixed basket. I know a lot of really great people involved in Greek life, and some people that are just in it for the parties. Some of the frat houses are pretty nice, and some of them are disgusting. There are no sorority houses on campus.
