    GCC's food service is great. Bon Appetit does its best to create an appetizing menu. The only down side is that after a while the food choices do get repetitive but I do have to say that it's difficult to come up with 546 different meals for the year. However, there is always a variety at the six different stations.

    Grove City has great options for food, and all of their food tastes great, but you do tend to get sick of it by Senior year.

    The food is decent. I'm sure for a college the food is average. I appreciate the variety in the food selection.

    Food is repetitive after awhile, but what college isn't. For college dining, the food is very good and there are tons of options if you just feel like eating junk food or if you want something healthy.

    There are always a lot of choices. There are 3 places you can go to eat, and 2 of them often have a wide variety. The third does not have as much variety, but is in a study area and therefore does not take you away from studying. Mexican food, Asian food, Italian food, American food, sandwiches, salads, cereal, and bread are always available. The dessert can be a hit or miss. They also post the food here: http://www.cafebonappetit.com/menu/your-cafe/grovecity/cafes/details/106/maps. MAP, GeDunk, and Hicks are the cafeterias, so each tab lists what is served at each location.

    There is a Greek life on campus but they do not live in Greek specific housing. They have certain halls in the different residence halls where the majority of the sorority or fraternity members live.

    There, but not a huge deal on campus. They don't have their own housing and it is a dry campus so they are not connected to national Greek Life. Not a big deal for people that aren't in a sorority or frat, I'd say it's about half and half with people involved in greek life.

    Greek life is vibrant, with many sororities and fraternities. This is a great way to form bonds and friendships that extend far beyond the college years and into your whole lifetime.

    Sororities and fraternities are not national; they are only found at Grove City. Most people get involved in greek life because it is a solid group of people who do service projects and provide fellowship.

    Greek life is pretty popular on campus. There are about 20 Greek groups on campus. About 15% of the student population is involved in Greek Life.

    Greek groups live on campus, so the groups are usually fairly tame. For the most part, it seems to foster a good sense of community for participants. It's only a campus divider if people make it more of a deal than it actually is.

    Around 15 independent Sororities and Fraternities, neither of which has huge campus influence. They are looked upon favorably generally
