    The food is excellent at Dickinson and there is a variety of places on and off campus to get good food at different times of day.

    The caf has decent food, but the design is pretty bleak. Also, think back to every high school movie cliche -- yup there are assigned tables. Sports teams, frats, sororities, and even random groups of friends claim tables. The track team will harass you until you leave their table.

    The food services here are sublime. The cuisine is varied, all dietary needs accomodated, and the quality of food is off the charts. Fresh fruit is ALWAYS available and healthy options presented and encouraged. This is NOT typical cafeteria food but runs more along the lines of something you'd find in a dining room on a top of the line cruise.

    The food is great!! When you first come there you enjoy what you eat and if you ever get tired of eating at the Caf or the school facilities, there are plenty of restaurants and pizzerias around town.

    Wonderful food in town, decent food in the dining hall. Most of the food is organic and comes from the school's 150-acre, student- and faculty- operated farm, or from local farmers and producers.

    For a small liberal arts school, the food here is average. It does a great job of making banquets for the holidays and making people look forward to them. There is a small variety of places to go eat on campus, but the overall cafeteria always has various foods to eat and try for all types of people who have distinct eating preferences.

    I'm involved with Greek life on my campus and I love it, but the school is really down on Greek life and make it difficult for us to remain on campus. It's pretty clear they want to get rid of it, but for now it's still there. It gives you more fun things to do on the weekends, opportunities for charity and community outreach, great friendships with people you may have never gotten to know on campus, and

    There are many Greek life groups on the campus ranging from social to academic core values. These must be sanctioned by the school, but there is a relatively accessible process to gain approval.
