Campus Life

There are plenty of amazing places to eat in this city, and there isn't a person in the world who couldn't find the desired cuisine. It may take a train ride though.

Food is available in the UC and many options throughout the city.

Columbia is basically in District one of Chicago, which is a bustling city full of flavors to explore. From deep dish pizza to red hots, the food is fairly priced and delicious.

The University Center is a great place to dine and meet new people - even work on homework! Other than that, the city has tons of convenience stores and restaurants everywhere you look so there is always room to try new things. However, I suggest that all freshman get a meal plan - it's one less thing you have to worry about!

If you live in one of the apartments you might opt out of eating at the University Center, otherwise that's where you can eat with a meal plan. The food is decent, the deli counter is the best to get food from, but otherwise there is a nice varitiy of food to choose from everyday.

I hear the food there is cool, but it's Chicago.....there are a million food places to go. Plus a lot of the dorms have kitchens in them if you want to save money. There's a Dairy Queen, Dunkin' Donuts, and a lot of other places among the class buildings. Also, the famous Giordanno's Deep Dish Pizza is a taxi drive away.

There is a cafeteria, which I have never been to, because I heard it's expensive. There are places to eat around. The average amount you will spend at those places is $7. I usually cook a meal at home. Get your food from Jewel(near 1104 Wabash) or take the train and go to Walmart. If you really have to, go to Target. You will spend a little more, but it's convenient.

Chicago food goes beyond the deep dish pizza and hot dogs. Columbia is centered in the Loop, surrounded by every type of cuisine from any culture you could think of. Thankfully, there is also a gym to work it all off in.

lots of amazing places to eat on campus and the majority give you student discounts

There is a cafeteria and many vending machines around but since you are in downtown Chicago there are plenty of places where you can eat.

None :) and it's better that way!

None - it's art school, kids.

No Greek Life.

There's no Greek life, but other Chicago schools have it and you could pledge to a local chapter in the city if you want.

DOESN'T EXIST!

There is no Greek Life, which in my mind is an A+++.

non existent at Columbia

none.

Columbia is proud to not support Greek life. At this school, there are no sports teams, no Greek life or row, and there technically aren't any school colors. This is an arts school, not your typical university, and that's a strong reason in why I like this school as much as I do.
