    Oregon State University makes eating very easy by creating a meal plan for students to just use their ID to pay for the food. After living in the dorms for a while, the food starts to get old, but there are three different dining halls on campus to eat from.

    In my opinion the food is pretty good. Even though it is good EVERYTHING is way overpriced. It's so expensive that they are just taking advantage of students, on top of tuition and the dorm being so expensive is it really necessary to make the food that expensive?

    I loved all the choices of places to eat, it can get boring if you stay at one dining hall, but its a great idea to look around. Sometimes it can be fun to just make something in the kitchen for you and your dorm mates too.

    I rarely eat on campus, so I can't really say whether the food is good or bad in the dining halls. there seem to be a lot of places to eat all over campus, so there's plenty variety to choose from all within a short walking distance. I've only ever eaten from the cafes, which serve expensive, but healthy and usually decent snacks and foods. Coffee on campus is utterly awful, though. There are healthy options and vegan/vegetarian options all over campus.

    The food in the OSU dining centers are very opinionated. I personally think that they are pretty good all things considered. There are many places to eat, with many options of food to choose from. It has been pretty for me to eat healthy as well.

    The food in co-ops is wonderful and healthy. In terms of on-campus dining, healthy options are a bit more limited, but there's still something for everyone.

    The Greek Life is awesome! I am actually apart of the Greek Life and I love it. I never have anything to do and I got to meet a lot of new people. The Greek Life is definitely somewhere you would want to get involved with to have a great time, meet new people, and get plenty of social skills. It's something I'd recommend to those who are new here at Oregon State.

    I am personally a part of a Women in Engineering Sorority and it is one of the best things I have experienced on Campus. It is a way to commect with girls just like me. If you can, Get involved in a Greek Community that is centered around your major!

    I am personally in greek life and I love it! it is a great way to meet people. It is also a great way to stay balanced. Greek organizations have standards they require to be kept with grades, but also are a way to get involved on campus, all while keeping up with philanthropy & community service
