    Food choices are limited and seats are limited as well with some choices closing earlier than others. Taste is not very good, while the late night openings are somewhat better.

    There is a cafeteria and other options on campus. However, since I am an Italian chef, it's difficult for me to find options that are satisfying and healthy. My roommates, however, like the Seasons Dining Hall and you can get fresh fruit there all day long.

    The dining on campus is sub-par. The main cafeteria, Seasons does not have great food. Their main objective is quantity of food over quality. However, the upper campus cafeteria and Einsteins Bagels Cafe are good choices but you have to use your discretionary money or falcon funds which eventually run out.

    Seasons, the main dining hall, is normal. There is no other word to describe it; it does also get very old and fast. La Cava, the upper campus expensive one, is very good. Everything is made pretty much right in front of you.

    The main cafeteria at Bentley is notorious for students to get sick of fast, but Bentley has a wide range of other options around campus besides the cafeteria which are of high quality even compared to college food such as Harvards.

    The main dining facility on campus is call Seasons and is right in the middle of campus. Unfortunately the food there is not that great. Many people try to avoid eating there when they can. The other eateries on campus though are much better which is why this is rated 3 stars. The Lower Cafe is the best place to get food on campus because everything is made right in front of you and is fresh, however you do have to pay for it. Another place that is pretty good is Yella's which is a sub shop on campus that people go to at night. They have everything from subs to pizza to chicken fingers and nachos.

    There are social fraternities and sororities, professional business fraternities, and honorary fraternities too such as acting and those related specifically to the field of finance.

    Yes- is is an important part of life at Bentley. I am an initiated member of Kappa Sigma and it's given me a chance to connect at a very deep level with a relatively small group of guys with whom you develop a bond for life. We have a social almost every week with the sororities and it's a great way to meet girls!

    Greek life is not a prominent part of campus life. It makes up about 17%-18% of students and they don't hold many events or anything like that.

    Being in Greek Life myself, I have to say joining a fraternity was a great way to meet even more people than I already knew. It also puts you in touch with upperclassmen who can provide valuable insight and networking. I also stayed close friends with those who are not in Greek Life and honestly would recommend it to anyone looking for a even more diverse college experience.
