    IU is in the process of making a new food court in the Southeast region of campus that will feature all varieties of foods from Vietnamese to American Fro-Yo. On top of that, there are 2 other main food courts and several small food diners around campus. Honestly some of the best food that I have had next to home made cooking.

    Dorm food may not seem the most appetizing going into freshman year, but come sophomore year... you're going to miss those meal points. There are a lot of food options, fresh fruits and veggies daily, and there are vegetarian options as well. Food courts are pretty evenly spaced around campus dorms as well.

    I wish that there were more fresh food options, rather than everything just being reheated, but there are a lot of organic food options, along with gluten-free and lactose-free. There are even quite a few vegan and vegetarian options for people with other diets, which I think is fantastic.

    The food is okay. You get used to it. But by the end of the year, you're tired of packaged food and food that tastes synthetic. However, by Gresham food court, there's an ice cream parlor that has the best ice cream! I found out about that place last minute

    There's a nice variety of food in the dining halls, but if you ever get sick of it, there are SO MANY places to eat down on 4th street and Kirkwood. Whether you're in the mood for Starbucks, Panda Express, Chipotle, or other ethnic food, you will find your fancy in this area.

    Everyone always asks about Greek Life and the reality is that it is pretty great. Most fraternities and sororities do have a strict, zero tolerance hazing rule which makes it more approachable for students to get engaged in. There are also many Greek events that go on with Little 500 being the most famous of the campus.

    I am not in a Greek organizations but some of my closets friends do partake in them and I have seen them become great leaders within each of their organizations that I'm proud of them. It really is something that I would say to do a lot of research to see if it's a good fit for you.

    I don't know much about Greek life at IU unless it is the NPHC. We have all of the Divine 9 at IU & they are all really involved on campus

    The Greeks are pretty active on campus, even though they only make up twenty percent of the population. They are very involved in events like Dance Marathon and Little 500.

    I'm not a part of the Greek life myself, but from what I've heard from friends who are... It sounds like a lot of fun! It's a great way to make friends and experience all the strange things college has to offer.

    Greek life is not essential to a social life, but it definitely enhances it.

    I am not a fan of Greek life personally, but it works out very well for some. I feel it segregates people and is all about judging others based on superficial aspects. I also believe that it contributes to under age drinking and partying.
