    You will probably get tired of the food. There are plenty of options, but after a while it all seems the same. You'll find what you like, but sometimes you'll have to decide if the travel is worth it.

    Some of the dining choices at Ohio State are great, but there are mediocre dining halls as well. As long as you stick to the good places the dining experience will be enjoyable.

    Traditions is prison food living on that plan will make you starve yourself because it is that bad. All the other dining places are great but you tired of eating there fast because they all kind of serve the same type of food.

    OSU provides a variety of eating options all over campus and is constantly updating and improving existing facilities.

    I commute so I do not dine on campus. However, when my son lived on campus, he raved about how good the food was and how convenient the dinning locations and hours were.

    The coffee drinks here are AMAZING. The food is pretty good, depending on your tastes. It's a decent price most of the time, and easy to order.

    Because I have not lived in the dorms, I have only eaten in the dining halls twice. I ate in Kennedy Commons and there was so much food! There was a huge breakfast bar, pasta options, and a vegetarian section, which was good for me since I don't eat meat, and the food was all really good! If you have a dining plan and choose to eat at Kennedy Commons you will never run out of food options!

    Doesn't make up a huge proportion, but it does have some influence and the people involved think highly of it.

    I did not have any affiliation with Greek life because I wanted to be off of the campus as soon as possible. I did not have a good experience here, even though I love people and crowds. It is not for everyone.
