    Chico State has a lot of options in regards to food and dining. Although it isn't five star dining, there are a lot of options and Chico does a great job in catering to people with special dietary needs, as well as using locally grown products in a lot of cases.

    Despite dorm life being good the food is just awful. Having a kitchen your second year is really nice.

    There are lots of choices on campus for students to eat. There is a brand new dining hall with a cafe for all students on campus as well as multiple cafes to get a bagel and coffee when in a hurry. Also, the BMU is a common lunch spot where people can buy pizza, sushi, sandwiches etc.

    The Chico campus has no shortage of food and coffee, it is what is expected of quick food. The best part of eating between classes is that campus is in downtown Chico and food options are never rare.

    The food is what you'd expect: feeding the masses. They do this pretty well though. Local lunches incorporate the local businesses/farms, and sustainability is a huge thing on this campus.

    Greek life is certainly available for all who seek it, however it is not a large factor in Chico. There are several houses that are affiliated with Chico and a few that are not.

    Greek life is pretty popular around here, but they're not school dominating like how many college movies portray them.
