    Not so great. I'm sure having a meal plan is a part of the experience, but I'd say save your money. You're in Chicago. Go out to eat. Cook your own food. College dining is a big scam in my opinion.

    The cafe at DePaul is small and always busy, but the food they serve there is quite delicious and the smoothies are great.

    I primarily utilize the Loop Campus and they have an onsite cafeteria. However, many familiar vendors are in the area within walking distance or accessible via public transportation.

    The food is based on different restaurant types. At first it is really nice but then it because the same thing over and over. They do offer specials once a week.

    There is not as much of a variety as other schools, but there is an average amount of choices that you'll get sick of by the end of your first year if you live in a dorm and have a meal plan.

    The food at DePaul has a wide variety. There are few healthy choices unless you go to the salad bar everyday. They do offer vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian options. Overall, pretty good selection.

    Sometimes you get really sick of the student center food but there are so many places around that you can grab food at.

    Greek Life at DePaul is amazing! However, there are no houses for the sororities or fraternities, which loses some interaction, but overall so many activities and exciting things to do while committing to Greek life.

    Greek Life has improved drastically since the past few years. Around 5-10 years ago, people who wore their letters were not as noticeable as they are now. Being in a sorority, I've absolutely loved the experience. It is truly nice being around your sisters and I feel you appreciate it more because you aren't forced to live in a house with them as other schools.
