Student Responses to Review Topic: Food And Dining

    I am not a fan of cafeteria food. A meal plan is required for all on campus students, but if you can avoid I would recommend getting a smaller plan after your first year. Once the semester is over you do not get money back from the meal you chose not to eat.

    The on campus dining can be iffy at times. There are many fast food options such as Subway, Panda Express, Pizza Hut, Wing Street, etc. The other options that are mostly used by students with a meal plan are Raising Cane's, P.O.D, and Cafe 1201. There are a couple other cafeterias on campus but the food gets old quick.

    Old Dominion offers SO many food and dining options. From chicken wings to Subway to Panda Express to Tropical Smoothie to Hibachi Grill, every cuisine you can think of is on campus or right around the corner.

    Cafeteria food is nasty. The only time it's decent is the first two weeks of the semester and those weekends when future students and their families come to visit. Luckily we have other food places on campus. Subway, Pizza Hut, Chick-fil-A, Raising Canes and Panda Express help balance out having to eat the cafe food.

    There are plenty of dining facilities on campus. There is always something open, especially for those late night munchies. The food is good and the staff is even better.

    The food is pretty good in the beginning. After eating it for a while it get pretty old, but most of the time they have different options. Just make sure you have plenty flex points or monarch plus, so that you can eat other places when you get sick of cafe food.

    I am not involved in Greek Life on campus and really do not know much about it. However, I know there are many fraternities and sororities at ODU and it is very popular.

    Currently I am not a part of the Greek life but our school has an immense variety of sororities and fraternities that you can join. They also tend to throw parties that are on-campus (safer) to gain money for their organization.

    Greek life is a big thing on campus, a lot of these groups are very focused on the community around us and you'll often see them doing fundraisers for local charities.
