    I've been told the food at Bethel is better than other schools. Some days are better than others, but it's never awful.

    Awesome dining center. Eight different buffets, several of which are custom-made, like Subway. Not just sandwiches though--stir fry, pasta and salad too!

    The food is very good at Bethel, they always have a lot of options and there are people who cook the food in front of you which is nice. Although like any school, after a while you can get sick of the same food so often. With that, I think that Bethel does a great job providing variety.

    Sodexo does most of the on campus catering and cafeteria food, and they are very good at working with students regarding food allergies and sensitivities. The food is good tasting and good for you and they have a great variety.

    The food and dining is not the best, but is very manageable. There is not a lot of choices and options, but it is always enough to fill you up. There are three places to eat one that is more of a coffee place, a grille, and the common dining center.

    The Coffee shop is ok; I wish that their drinks came in larger sizes and that they had faster service. If you don't have 10-15 min. to spare I would not place an order there.

    Bethel's dining provides delicious and healthy variety at affordable prices. The best thing is there meal plan, but especially their dessert line.

    There is Greek life but it is not particularly obvious or well known. Most Greek life seems to be centered on alcohol and parties, and since that kind of activity is frowned on at Bethel, the Greek life is more centered on medical students and their studies.

    bethel does not have greek life per-say. there are no fraternity or sorority houses, but within certain majors there are national groups you can join.
