Campus Life

The food is actually pretty good! There are a lot of dining halls,cafes and eateries on campus. One of Cornell's majors is Hotel Management where they manage a 4 star hotel on campus that serves great food as well

For me, food and dining was great when I visited, but I heard you can easily get sick of it. (Sidenote: Risley has the best breakfast food)

Amazing dining halls at Cornell and restaurants in the area. Locally, make sure you check out Bandwagon Brew Pub and Just A Taste.

There are many options and the food is great!

Whether you're looking for sushi, stirfry, a burger, salad, sandwich, hot meal, cereal, bagels, - you'll find it in the Cornell Dining Halls. We have been ranked as having some of the best college campus food around the country and I can say that I ate in the dining halls for breakfast lunch and dinner my freshman year, thoroughly enjoyed it, and didn't gain the Freshman 15! Additionally, there are many other eateries on campus to go to if you are looking for something other than the dining halls!

There are 2 full all-you-can-eat style dining halls on North Campus, where the freshman dorms are located, as well as a late-night student convenience store. The dining halls offer fresh, local produce and are very mindful of the environment in their composting and going trayless campaigns. Various cuisine types can be found: Asian food, salad and soup bar, sushi bar, and stir fry stations are available daily. Plus the staff are always friendly!

The food at Cornell is amazing. There are times that you will long for horribly unhealthy fast-food as it requires leaving campus to find, but the options on campus are healthy, delicious, and there is something for everyone.

The food is AMAZING. So many options. Vegan and vegetarian friendly

The food here is amazing. Honestly, simple as that. There are dining halls everywhere (2 on North Campus, 1 on Central, and over 5 on West), as well as plenty of cafes every few buildings to make sure food is always in reach. Beyond this, the food offered is delicious and always varied at certain places. For example, in the dining halls on North, there will always be grilled chicken and hamburgers, salad, and pasta. However, each day there will be a separate station with something unique, such as sushi, different meat or chicken dishes, vegetables of the day, various side dishes, etc. You never get tired of the food, and 99.99% of the time it's wonderful.

Fantastic! Cornell is consistently rated in the top five for university dining hall food. It's always good, even if you're just getting a burger or pizza. Watch out for the BBQ tofu though...

1/3 of campus is greek

eh, I know it exists; I have yet to really experience Greek Life though.

very active

Absolutely the best decision I made at Cornell was to join Greek life. We have over 40 fraternities and 12 sororities. An incredible experience!

Great Greek System!

Unfortunately, I can't give much about Greek Life as I am not a part of it. However, I can say it is very alive here and many about 30% of people I meet are part of a Greek organization. However, there have been several scandals and issues here with Greek groups and racism, so they aren't holding the same prestige as they used to right now.

Very prominent, something like 30% of students go Greek

Greek Life is very prevalent at Cornell. However, involvement is not necessary to have a successful and fun undergraduate experience. Should you choose to participate, however, you will become very close with your sorority/fraternity and create bonds that will last you a lifetime.

There are a lot of sororities and frats, but I don't know much about them. You can't rush them until spring semester though; they don't allow freshman to rush during the fall.

Many fraternities and sororities on campus that create familial environments.
