Buffet Style

So many options. The main food area is a circular building where it's pay to get in, then all you can eat buffet. Things from Greek to Italian, to Chick-Fil-A, to Chinese, to a vegatarian station, to American, build your own Mexican plate, sweet shop, etc. All in one place. 18 total inside this building. Other places are pretty generic. You have Burger King close by, a convenience store in the dorms, a 24 hour restaurant, Starbucks and a few others. Food does get a bit tiring after a while but there's usually plenty of variety.

It Depends

The professors you get your first 2 years won't be that great. Many are graduate teaching assistants working on their PhD's. That mean you will have a lot of foreign professors and they won't be that involved. You'll go to class, take notes, study, take a test, repeat. That's about it until you get to your major's courses. Workload is pretty good. Just lots of studying for some hard classes (Math, Econ, Zoology). Registration is super simple online and you can almost always get your preferred schedule if you do it when your adviser tells you to. Seeing an adviser is simple and there aren't too long of waits. Special study spots would be Wagner Hall, the Great Reading Room in the library, and Price College of Business. All of these places have nice leather chairs and couches or table if you prefer that.

Good Luck

Parking here sucks. Lots of restrictions on spots (spots only for upperclassmen), not enough spots, and the distance between lots and classes. Lots of students come from Texas and Oklahoma, so there is an overflow of cars in contrast to spots. The only good thing is there's usually enough space to park somewhat close to the dorms. Other than that, no. Use your car only for off-campus stuff, it's useless driving to class. Need for a car isn't great but you may consider it if you're a social hound and need to go places constantly.
