    Baker is connected to the hospital, and so you can go to one of several locations in the hospital (cafe, snack shop, cafeterias) to purchase your meals. Most students bring their own food from home.

    Baker will be undergoing student union renovation in the summer 2013 which included the renovation of our old fashioned cafeteria. It is transforming into a modern day cafeteria with stations and booths for common tasty foods with regular updated menu. In addition to that a new sort of coffee shop with new menus is going to be opened. Baker is going to give even more pleasant dining experience as compared to now.

    Small town with maybe 5 options to choose from. If you have transportation then you can travel 20 minutes to find many other choices.

    The cafeteria is a buffet with anything from the food they prepare to cereal to pizza to a salad bar to a sandwich bar. If you do not like what they have prepared for the hot meal then you have plenty of other options.

    With a cafeteria that serves food three different times throughout the day, Baker has the best food and dining. Normally there is a main course meal every time, with the options of a salad bar, cereal bar, and ice cream for dessert! The prices are very reasonable and it is all you can eat.

    As I was a member of the Greek life (before my chapter was removed from campus), the experience was fantastic. There were so many fun and thrilling experiences with the Greek life.

    Greek life is a big part of Baker, but not the only part. Students that are not part of Greek life are actively involved in other organizations as well; no one feels left out.

    For decades, the Baker Greek community has been the most engaged group on campus, making a difference both in the classroom and the community. Sorority and fraternity members consistently perform well in the classroom, and the strong personal bonds provide them with an excellent network when they start their careers.

    Greek life is a large part of Baker and it is sometimes viewed as different than the Greek life at larger Universities. This is because there are spots for nearly anyone who wishes to be in a Greek house so long as they seek the one they best fit into and thus the recruitment process involves less of a tryout feel and probably less hazing.
