Student Responses to Review Topic: Food And Dining

    People complain all the time about our dining, but honestly I don't find it too terrible. I'm not a food snob as many people here are, I'm not that big on superior quality of food. It's not home cooking and you'll find that right away, but it's not prison food either. Plus, they are taking feedback and making improvements.

    Whether you eat healthy or not, you will find anything that pleases you. I am gluten-free and I never have to worry about finding something good. Naked juices, salads and great coffee are available in almost half of the buildings including study areas and libraries. They also provided complete nutritious and delicious meals in cafeterias but if you want more exotic foods then just walk a few steps from your room and you will find anything you want.. NYC, what can you say!

    The cafes on campus are what make the dinning experience shine, along with all the other food opportunities around campus.

    The food in the surrounding area was quite good, although many restaurants were very busy at the time.

    Most cafes on campus require a MealPass card. However one or two cafe/coffeeshops do except cash/card however they are more expensive compared to establishments outside the campus gates.

    They are really based on fellowship and service. They aren't the stereotypical frat guys and sorority girls, at least not the majority.

    I am not involved but know several people that are and they love the experience. I am in the band which is very close to the Greek life.

    Many sororities and fraternities and they will definitely be helpful since making friends here can be hard and having study groups and support groups will help you achieve much more. Do join if you can!

    Greek life is not too prominent because of the party scene in New York City itself, but can be found if desired. There are plenty of fraternities/sororities to choose from, and there are a fair number of students involved in Greek life.

    Greek life does not play a large role in the Columbia community, however there are several fraternities and sororities to become involved in.

    Well, it's around. The Ivy League is pretty great, but appreciate the fact that it isn't for your typical beer-drinking jock jarhead frat boy. Those guys are pretty hard to find.
