Campus Life

The food is unappetizing most of the time. The food provider tries to appeal to a wide range of culinary tastes, so the food is very often something strange I've never heard of and very bland. Being raised on Tex-Mex, I like a little more spice in my food!

The food can get old after awhile, but the kitchen staff have been working hard this year to switch things up and bring in new recipes and ideas.

The food is pretty much what you would expect of any college cafeteria. We are catered by Parkhurst Dining. Every day, we have a salad bar, a couple soup choices, pizza, burgers, a deli where you can custom-make sandwiches, a bagel bar with jam/cream cheese, various cereals, a ton of desserts (the chocolate chip cookies are pretty awesome), a hot food special, a vegetarian special, and whatever is at the Bravissimo bar, which varies between omelettes, stir-fry, and stuff like that. So if you're a picky eater or just don't like the special that day, you can get creative and mix and match. There are also a ton of fast-food joints and local restaurants within a close radius of campus if you want a change every now and then.

Its cafe food. Enough said.

The food is WONDERFUL! They just got a new food company and it is just so yummy.

The food is terrible but there are so many great local restaurants that make up for it.

My only complaint at Lyco is that the food could be better. Also the cafeteria hours need to be extended secondary to extracurricular activities.

the cafeteria here is extremely accommodating. everything is buffet style and there's new food served all the time. they serve vegetarian options, as well as many international options. the cafeteria team is always open to new suggestions and is very polite.

The food is ok. In the start of the fall semester in 2011, we changed food service providers and the food is ok. Most times, the cafe food is good and every once in a while is exceptional. But we have fast food places within walking distances away if you ever get tired of cafe food.

We offer plenty of fraternities and sororities to cater to anyone who is interested in Greek Life!

Lycoming employs a very very strict no-hazing policy, so Greek life here is safe, fun, and constructive. We have five sororities on campus, two national (Alpha Sigma Tau & Alpha Xi Delta), and three local (Gamma Delta Sigma, Alpha Rho Omega, & Beta Phi Gamma). We also have four fraternities (Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Kappa Psi, Kappa Delta Rho, & Lambda Chi Alpha). Roughly 25% of the student body is Greek, so while there is a presence, it isn't overwhelming, and you certainly won't be pressured to join if you don't want to. The Greeks here are not bitter towards independent students at all. In addition, to help make the transition easier, students are not allowed to pledge themselves to a Greek organization until they have completed one full semester. This helps make sure that they're fully assimilated into life at Lycoming first.

I'm personally not involved in Greek Life, but there is an array of options for this.
