    I have found it really depends on how you grew up, if mom made a homemade meal every night for dinner, you may have a hard time getting used to it. If you're like me, where your family was always busy and ate when you had time, it's not bad at all. Since the school has so many athletes, they have a lot of healthy food. They are also adding and improving all the dining options and facilities.

    The Cage is a really great place to hang out, you can get smoothies and pizza, it's fun to hang out there on weekends. Kaufman is the dining hall, it's pretty cool, but sometimes it's cold in there.

    It's college food. North Central has 2 different places to dine. The first is called Kaufman which is an all you can eat buffet. It has many different options for meals and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The second is called The Cage. It is a girl and a pizza place but also offers smoothies. It is much smaller than Kaufman but the food here is generally a bit better but not quite as healthy.

    I will admit the cafeteria can use a bit of work they do have a restaurant as well that always has good food, so it's pretty balance.

    The food is the worst part about this school. Although it's not awful, it's also not good. Compared to schools such as ISU, which has many options at the dining hall, NCC has a limited selection for each meal.

    I have only eaten on campus facilities a handful of times, but each time has been delicious, and at the very least, filling. Certainly good portions.

    Food at the cafeteria is pretty good! But if you get tired of that food, there are many delicious restaurants located downtown along with places like Jamba Juice, Starbucks, and Red Mango.

    There is Kaufman dining hall that has a good variety of healthy meals. Then there is The Cage where you can get Papa John's Pizza, hot wings, burgers, chicken tenders, etc... North Central campus is located right next to Downtown Naperville that has a variety of different restaurants starting from Subway to Potbelly's, Chipotle, Noodles & Company, Sullivan's Steakhous, etc...

    We have academic fraternities and sororities that you can look up online but we do not have the typical houses and what not that most big name state schools have.

    Greek Life is not permitted at this institution. North Central is a private institution and the city of Naperville has a reputation to uphold. So they decided to not permit Greek Life years ago because they feel it would bring disruptions to the community.
