Campus Life

The main dining hall is called Rastall. We have two other smaller dining areas called Benjis (grill food, Mexican, sushi) and the Preserve (pasta, sandwiches, delicious pizza). We also have a cafe called Colorado Coffee and an on-campus convienence store. The meal plan is great and really simple. You get an amount of money for each semester depending on your meal plan (A,B,C) and you can use that money at any of the above places whenever they're opened. No restrictions or complicated rules about where you can dine and when.

I am very picky with what I eat, and was very satisfied with the food in the dinning hall. The Waffle machines are amazing.

The buffet-style dining can be delicious or atrocious. The other two on-campus eateries are generally good.

The food is amazing! There's no junk food and everything is healthy and farm grown/raised. If you come for a student visit day you'll be able to sample some of the amazing food provided to students as well as family members.

There are three main locations to eat on campus. There is a vegetarian and vegan population so Bon Apptite tries to serve to everyone's tastes. Rastall Dining - All you eat buffet that serves three meals a day. Has a soft serve ice cream machine and desserts frequently. Praised and frowned upon for their Meatless Mondays. Benjamin's -Lunch/Dinnertime location all-natural beef burgers and many grill selections, traditional Mexican favorites and signature made-to-order noodle bowls. The Preserve - Lunch/Dinnertime location on campus that serves fresh sandwiches, soups, pizza, and a daily special. Specials include pastas, steak, unusual pizzas (dessert, blue cheese, really eccentric stuff) and grilled items. Meal plan is expensive. People tend to have extra money towards the end of the year or run out early depending on their meal plan. Students also frequently go eat downtown or nearby to Wooglan's, a restaurant right next to CC.

The food is not half bad! There are three different places to dine, so whatever you're itching for, you can probably satisfy your craving. The kitchen staff is very kind and they work hard to make sure you get fed and actually keep it down, unlike other campuses I have visited.

Not having been there, I wouldn't know.

The food at CC is amazing in comparison with most other colleges. Bon Apetit, our food service, offers lots of options for all kinds of eaters: vegetarian, gluten free, vegan, dairy-free, etc. It is easy to find both healthy and unhealthy food. There is also lots of variety. There are five places to eat: the buffet-style dining hall, a fast-food style restaurant, a coffee place, a more healthy restaurant, and a small grocery store.

Bon Apetit is the food service provider on campus. They run three major dining areas: Rastall, The Preserve and Benji's. While students do complain, the food is overall pretty good. Bon Apetit also supports sustainable food practices (including a Meatless Mondays at Rastall) and buys some produce from the CC Farm.

plenty of choices, looks above average and healthy.

Greek Life at Colorado College is pretty minimal. We do have a few sororities and fraternities but they only make up about 10% of the campus. If you want a college centered around Greek Life, then Colorado College is not the right choice.

There is a Greek life, but most people aren't involved in it.

If it's your thing, go for it! I have no experience with it though, so I can't say.

Not super popular at CC, but gaining a better reputation. Not a very large percentage of students are involved in Greek life, but then, Greek life at CC is very different than at other schools. I am in Kappa Kappa Gamma, and most of the girls in it including me say that they would have never thought they'd be in a sorority, but once they met the girls they loved it. Greek life puts on lots of fun events and does lots of philanthropy.

Greek Life exists at CC but it's not overwhelming. It has a weird reputation on campus, but there are also a lot of students who feel pretty neutral about it. I'm in a sorority and I like it, but it's definitely not all I do at CC. CC Greek Life is far from stereotypical and most Greeks don't live in the houses.
