Campus Life

MEH--not many good options compared to other schools.

The food here is very good. There are a lot of different cafeterias and they all have a lot of options. There's even a ton of basic (but good) foods they serve all day everyday.

Lots of places to eat out

Food and dining options aren't that great.

Personally, I'm a picky eater. The flavors are generally acceptable, but the biggest problem I've had with dining hall food is that everything is so high in calories. It's almost impossible not to gain weight if you don't increase your work-out regimen.

Overpriced, but decent. If you live on campus you must have an expensive meal plan, but overall there are a lot of good choices in the multiple dinning halls and on campus cafes.

3 stars for the times I have eaten there. I did not purchase a meal plan, since I am a junior. The food service is being ran by a nice restaurant in Lima. The restaurant food is good quality, they carried over their standards.

Could be better and needs more variety.

The dining halls are nice and provide a lot of healthy options. It has also been ranked to be the most friendly to vegetarians and vegans.

Decent variety, not always excellent. Dining hall food.

Greek Life is huge here. If I'm not mistaken, around 30% of the student population is involved. However, it's not a divisive factor on campus at all. Students in Greek life do not separate themselves from other students, and vice versa. It's not like they control the campus either, so you won't be influenced by it if you choose to not go Greek.

Almost non existent, then again I'm a gear head, so I am not sure that is a fair assessment.

It's not a major part of campus life if you don't want it to be. But if you do there are a bunch of organizations you can join.

Greek life is definitely booming on campus. The fraternities and sororities are quite diverse; anyone can join the greek community and feel welcomed!

There are plenty of the fraternities and sororities here for any type of person. The great part is that rush starts during Winter session, which takes the pressure off for the first quarter that you're new to the school. Another aspect is that everyone at Northwestern is already academically orieted, so the Greek life pertains more to non-academic aspects of college life.

Greek Life plays a large role on campus, but it is still the minority. The great thing about Northwestern's Greek Community is that it is a lot more variable than the stereotypes of fraternities and sororities. There is a place for everyone who wants to join and no hazing!

It exists. You can be a part of it and it's great. However, if you aren't a part of it, you aren't missing anything.

It's a private school, so remember, don't expect wild things like at public schools. But for top 20 private universities, and compared to UChicago, it's a party school. Almost 36% of people here are in Greek life; Lodge is dead, so the top 3 frat positions are up. I didn't rush (I hate the idea of living with 50+ girls honestly), but a lot of my friends are in frats and sororities. It's a time commitment, and may or may not affect your grades.

greek life on campus is very popular on campus. as a member, i have met great people within the system and can see all its advantages as well as its flaws. nu greek life is great for a social person who wants a great network of people around them or good opportunities to participate in philanthropic work. the system, however, can be rather isolating if one does not make the conscious decision to branch out to other aspects of campus life.
