    Variety Variety Variety. They have a huge variety of food and it is all included in your room and board. You can eat any time of the day and as much as you want. They have two locations on campus for convenience.

    What I had was good. Seems to be a pretty good variety, but I'm told it's pretty consistent, if that makes sense. There is a variety but it doesn't change much.

    Food was good and there is a little variety but you can always go somewhere else if you get tired of the food.

    There are many options for food. Atherton has a variety of choices. Some food is definitely better than others in the cafeteria. We just recently put a Mongolian Grill in our dining area, and it is amazing! It's part of the meal plan and does not cost any extra.

    The food at Butler is not up to par. Occasionally the dining hall will have something good, but otherwise get used to salad and soup. The only good thing is they just put in a stir-fry station, which is actually quite tasty.

    The two dining halls have lots of options, and you can eat healthfully if you try! Atherton dining hall has been recently redone and is really nice. The only downside is that not all dorms have places to eat.

    The houses are so rustic, and the fraternity I met seemed really cool

    Greek life is quite a large pressence on campus. That being said, it's not a problem for students who are not Greek. The current president of the university is very tough on partying and drinking, so there have been no incidents since I have been on campus. The fraternities and sororities also run huge philanthropic events throughout the school year.

    Greek life is great at Butler because the houses are very academic based. You are held at a higher standard by the Greek Houses than other universities require. Also, at Butler freshman do not rush until winter break. I think this is a great feature at Butler because it gives us time to wrap our heads around the college atmosphere before going greek. I think that rushing within the first few weeks tends to stress some freshman out which can lead to decisions that can impact health such as drinking, so Butler's way of rushing in the winter is amazing!

    This seems to be a big part of campus; however, I am still surprised to find that not everyone is involved in a greek organization.
