    NYU's dining halls have quite a vast selection of food items. However, I gave it three stars because of the pricing. It would honestly save a lot more money to make your own lunch in your dorms or at home.

    Depending on the dining hall you go to, NYU offers many choices. Some dining halls are even catered by outside companies. Sometimes NYU has guest companies that come in and offer their foods as well.

    I gave this category 4 stars because it's not like you're served dinner every night. Sadly, nothing beats grandma's cookies. A lot of us are far from home and realize that once eating at the dining halls. BUT we do have Chick-fil-a, Quiznos, vegan options, food marts, and Nutella. Everyday. So, there's not much to complain about. Oh, and don't forget to make friends with the cook. Then you can have whatever you want, even if it's not on the menu.

    The food in the dining halls is always excellent and we have a ton of vegan and vegetarian options available. The staff is always so helpful and fun. Plus, we have the only Chick-fil-A in New York City.

    The dining halls can be convenient based on your location, but can certainly get old after a while. There are many options so you can mix up where you decide to go and there are also a ton of great restaurants in the area that aren't all expensive.

    Because Manhattan and NYU students are so diverse, so is the food around the area. There are plenty of both cheap and expensive, and everything in-between, places to eat - you just need to look a little to find what you like. There is an experience and food for everyone.

    The food at NYU is good- nothing too great depending on your taste. I like everything, so I was happy, however, my roommate who was very picky often only ate pizza.

    So many dining halls, and the food is AMAZING (mostly because NYU Dining knows it has to compete with the food the rest of NYC has to offer). Best college dining there is.

    There are sororities and fraternities, but the majority of students are not involved in these. Those who are involved however, do really enjoy it.

    As I said before I love Greek life and it brings you to meet so many great and different people. i would absolutely recommend it, and since it is NYU it's not the typical greek life in the movies.

    Greek life is there if you look for it. There is no frat row like those common at most universities, but rush week and the social life that comes with fraternity and sorority is still a lot of fun and very accessible.

    Not much Greek Life on campus. It is not big here. Though I am in the pre-medical fraternity (PhiDE) here and it is great! We help each other through the hard pre-med classes we have to take. Older members give great advice to younger members on what classes to take and what opportunities are available.
