Some Places Better Than Others
Depending on what you want in your dining experience, you're going to find that some place are simply better. GQ is great if you're in a hurry, but it gets old quickly. Especially after removing the Red Hot Chef action station, which would change every weekday, there is little to no variety in the food that is served there. Sandella's is yummy but a bit expensive. The new "Campus Restaurant" is Muhlenberg Privilege at its finest, right down to the school seal emblazoned on the back of each wooden chair. It's beautiful and the food is certainly a step up from what it used to be, but it's still very much a college dining hall.
Keep track of your dining dollars well; since they've changed the meal plan (2010-11 school year), it's difficult to judge how many you need. They now roll over from semester-to-semester, which is great, but you can always add more if you run out (which is more likely than having an excess).

Guys Not Worth the Effort
I've found that as a fairly attractive female, it's very hard to find men on this campus, or at least ones that are worth any kind of effort. We're split 60-40 female to male, so the odds are already against us. When it comes to dating, the majority of the "good ones" are taken, and the large gay population on campus limits options even more. The rest tend to be immature.
However, I will note that the guys on campus are pretty attractive, especially the athletes and fraternity guys (DTD and ATO mostly).

Not Terrible, but Definitely Annoying
Parking is certainly limited, but I can always find a spot in the lot outside of my dorm. However, I have one of the bigger parking lots, and I know at least two of the dorms' residents have some serious issues finding parking. Living in off-campus housing and parking can be different, since Allentown does street cleaning during a good portion of the year and you can get fined for leaving your car on the street overnight. Campus police can also be super annoying about parking and tickets are a pretty common occurrence.
