    Dining services will not be your favorite aspect of life at OBU, but there are many options available, and you will always eat.

    The food at OBU is not very good. The facilities are clean and the faculty is amazing, but the food simply does not taste the best when eating it day in and day out.

    The cafeteria, or ARA as its called on campus, is not the best tasting food and there is not alot of variety, but they do have healthy options to choose from and the ice cream is its saving grace.

    Although the ARA food is not great/ amazing it is really good. Some days it's not so great but for the most part the food is delicious.

    The first word that comes to mind when a person hears cafeteria food is disgusting. At OBU it is quite the opposite. With experienced cooks in the cafeteria and a great grill down stairs from it, every student looks forward to their three meals a day.

    The Aramark here at OBU is very good. They have different food every day and it is always cooked very well. The only bad thing is that not every day do they have vegetables, but they do have fruit on the salad bar ever day. There are 5 different food places to choose from and the dining area is very large. The kitchen staff and janitors are very friendly.

    The Cafeteria is okay they have a few variety of options but down in the Geiger Center they make wonderful Panini's. You can have a multitude of things.

    I know there are a lot of schools who have terrible food. OBU is not one of those schools. They have amazing food. Also there is a wide variety of foods that you have to choose from. There are some healthy choices and some not so healthy choices. The food is great tasting though.

    Um, all you can eat food plus all you can eat Bluebell ice-cream sounds great - and it is; but some of the food isn't very tasty. Oh and the pizza is delicious...just saying.

    There is no official Greek life on campus. There are multiple social clubs which are similar to sororities and fraternities but seek to promote christian fellowship and service. Like Greek communities, there is rush week, pledging, bigs and littles, retreats.

    There is Greek life here at OBU but it is not as prevalent as it is bigger universities. They are Christ-centered and really focus on meeting new people and doing service projects and just growing in the Lord.

    Greek life has started to grow. Yet, the groups are not the typical sororities and fraternities. These groups are more service lead social organizations that ban together to help the community.
