    The food is actually pretty good! Memorial has great lunches and dinners most of the time, and breakfast at Collins is AWESOME...especially the pancakes :)

    Although the Baylor campus has a plethora of dining halls, I have yet to try any.

    I am not a giant fan of the residential cafeterias, but to be fair, they are significantly better than the ones at most other universities. And they are doing a good job of trying to increase dining diversity within the on-campus restaurants as well as the dining halls. Overall, I would say it is good.

    Pretty average. Nothing special, but nothing too bad. Just make sure not to go to Penland! It's referred to as P-Nasty, if that tells you anything about their food.

    The quality of the food at Baylor is pretty great compared to other college campuses. There is more than enough dining halls to attend whenever you are hungry, and some are open at late hours for those of us who are studying and need a break. There is also available food store if you prefer to not eat on campus that sometimes makes it convenient for the student.

    The food is decent for cafeteria food but you have all of Waco around you so you have a choice.

    I give food 4 stars because the food is better than some other schools I have visited. There is always room for improvement, But Baylor's food is pretty good.

    I am not familiar with Greek life. It is not something I am interested in.

    I personally don't know much about greek life. Just that Baylor is different in that you don't rush in the Fall you rush in the Spring. This way it lets you see if you can handle your academics before you commit yourself to a sorority or fraternity.

    Greek life is very prevalent at Baylor; I am not personally a member of a sorority/fraternity so I can't speak from experience, but the friends I know who are involved in them absolutely love them.

    There is definitely greek life, panhellenic and muliticultural, on campus but not as intense as some other universities. There is not as much pressure to join. There are no sorority or frat houses. So if your're interested in that sort of thing go for it, if not..no worries.

    Greek Life is a very large part of Baylor life. It is another way to meet people and be a part of something. While it may not be an option for everyone, it is an option that should be considered because it ultimately allows entrance to other activities such as All- University Sing, one f Baylor's oldest traditions, that is made up of almost exclusively greek life.

    I would highly advise to go Greek. It's a great and encouraging atmosphere and everyone will find the place where they belong. There's tons of social events and friends to be made.

    Greek life is active on campus. There are plenty of sorority and fraternity events that happen and you always see someone wearing a greek shirt around campus. Rush week can be time consuming but it is totally worth it. You can choose from wanting to be a Panhellenic organization or a Baylor based organization. The options are out there and you can find one that fits your personality and needs best. Greek organizations also put on an event called Sing where each organization makes their own musical skit and competes for top place. The following year the best acts perform again at what we call Pigskin so if you missed it you can see the best of the best next term.

    Greek life is a really big deal on Baylor's campus, and a lot of students are involved in sororities and fraternities. They do a lot of really cool events around campus like blood drives, toy drives, balls (dancing & dinner), haunted houses, and different events during Christmas time.
