    From the food I've tasted at other colleges, Lehigh's is top notch. There are two main dining halls and plenty of on campus restaurants where you can use your meals! Each dining hall has two dining options that change everyday and a made to order location. In addition they always have hamburgers and pasta. There is also a great selection for vegetarian students!

    Food isn't bad around here very wide selection at any of the three food courts and always something to eat. Also plenty of places to eat off campus if you just wanna change it up for a day.

    I have yet to have a meal there myself, but from what I've heard, the food at the food courts at Lehigh University are of mom quality and full of variety.

    As much as I love Lehigh's food, I found I was getting kind of bored of it by the end of the year. Its really good food and there's a lot of options, but it can feel sort of repetitive sometimes.

    The food is awesome! There are so many options at the three cafeteria style dining halls: soup, salads, sandwiches, burger grill, vegetarian options, and pasta are available at every meal, as well as traditional hot food bar menu items that vary from day to day. You can always find something you like. In addition to the dining halls, there is a food court with over seven different food style options from Mexican to sushi to Chinese, as well as three other dining options scattered at different locations throughout campus. There is always something available, no matter what you're in the mood for! So many choices!

    The food here is great! I can't say that for ALL the food, but the majority. There is always a big variety, too, so if you don't like something you can just have something else. You are not even limited to one dining hall; there are many!

    Greek life is a large part of Lehigh's campus, about 50% of the students are Greek. However there is absolutely no pressure for anyone to become Greek, and the houses are regulated by Lehigh so they must meet Lehigh's safety regulations.

    1/3 of students are involved with Greek Life, so many students choose to choose Greek, yet it doesn't dominate campus. Greek and non-Greek relations are generally cooperative and friendly. Greek chapters are heavily involved with coordinating community service events and a few stand-out chapters have very high chapter GPAs.

    I am involved in a sorority, and a lot of my friends are too. I also have a lot of friends who decided Greek life wasn't for them. I really think its a personal decision and you can have a great social life either way.

    If you're into that type of thing, there is plenty of it here, and everyone seems to fit in fine. If you're not into it, there are also plenty of people who avoid it.

    Greek life is a big component of Lehigh's campus. The sorority and fraternity houses are located on The Hill, which is towards the top of campus. Almost half of my grade went Greek, but it doesn't mean you are an outcast if you're not Greek. It really depends on your group of friends and your social preferences, but Greek life is quite prevalent among the crowds.
