    Oxy has 4 meals plan ranging A through D, with A being the largest of the meal plans. A is generally used by athletes, while C (the smallest meal plan allowed for freshman) is often not used up all the way by many students. There are two main dining facilities on campus, as well as a student-run coffee shop (very good!) and a food cart in one of the dorms.

    There is one main cafeteria on campus called the Market Place with a lot of diversity in their food. There is also a snack diner place called the Cooler with fried foods. There is also the coffee shop called the Green Bean and a coffee cart in one of the dorms.

    Great food! Different selections every day that generally do not disappoint. Meal plan costs are a little high and sometimes go unspent, however. Dining options tend to get a little sparse on weekends.

    Good quality and variety. Make-your-own pasta station is my life. And the brunch on the weekends is the best meal on campus. And the Cooler pizza is really good. Really good. And the fries.

    Greek life is a comparatively small part of campus. I believe around fifteen percent of the campus is a part of Greek life, but I could be wrong.

    There are a few sororities and fraternities. They say that Greek life is big there but I have yet to find out.

    Very small presence on campus. There are maybe 6 greek organizations, with less than 5% of students participating. With 2,200 students total, there really isn't a need to join a frat or sorority to make friends. It's easy to get to know people!
