    Lunch on admitted students day was absolutely delicious. Even the staff that oversaw the lunch were extremely friendly and helpful and were willing to do anything for you. I really loved it. The cafeteria food is very good too.

    Andrew Commons is unlike any other school cafeteria. Excellent food, good ingredients, wide variety of options. You can get food from the cafe, or bagged lunches from the convenience store if you're on the go.

    LU has a better food selection than most campuses. LU provides the student body with many products from our own garden. With a high variety of food in our main cafeteria, there is also a corner store and cafe present in our campus center. In addition, there are many delicious food sources right on the avenue.

    The food is good and it varies every day, but as other schools you could get tired of it. The school has a Cafe, which is completely different from the dinning room and the food is really good. The cafe is like a fast- food restaurant (you never get tired of it).

    Especially if you have an eating condition or allergy, the Lawrence Dining Center is awesome. I have celiac disease and they make almost everything have gluten-free options! There's also plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. The food in general is also great, actually I don't miss my home cooking at all, they tend to cover that, and pasta, pizza, hamburgers, Hispanic flavors (delicious tortillas and rice, beans, meat, ect.) Asian flavors (fried rice, stir fry, ect.) and everything in between. You'll never go hungry.

    It gets boring after awhile - it's cafeteria food. But before it's boring, it's pretty darn good - better than probably 95% of the cafeterias out there. The cafe is overpriced, as is the corner store, but you get used to it.

    The food was really pretty good for being cafeteria food. I wasted a lot of money at my lost college by not using the cafeteria because it was really awful. I don't think I'll be wasting my money this year at Lawrence as it was pretty impressive that times that I ate there.

    Greek life is interesting at Lawrence. There are frats and sororities, although sororities don't have their own houses (fraternities do). It didn't seem like the exclusive, cliquey, elite attitude that stereotypically come with these groups existed with Lawrence's. While I was there I only heard very positive things about Greek life. It in no way dominates campus social life - it definitely felt like a small, yet significant aspect of Lawrence.

    We have four fraternities and three sororities on campus. Our Greek system provides an extra supportive family for people and have great energy on campus.

    There's sororities and fraternities and lots of people join them, but you don't have to live in their building to be a member. You can live in a residence hall and still be a member of one. They are pretty big on volunteering, if you're a member of a sorority or fraternity you do have required service hours.

    Greek Life exists, but it's by no means the center of the social scene. It's nice to have it there - parties and events, etc - but also nice that it's not the be-all end-all of making friends.

    The fraternities we have are Beta Theta Pi, Delta Tau Delta, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Tau, Sigma Phi Epsilon. The sororities we have are Delta Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Kappa Kappa Gamma. We also have two Greek music fraternities. The men's music fraternity Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and the women's fraternity Sigma Alpha Iota.
