Campus Life

Eh...it's definitely not your mom's cooking. Sure, at first, pizza and ice cream sounds good every night, but watch yourself...plus, after about a month and a half, you will get sick of the same foods in the cafeteria. The best food that Otterbein has is its cafe, which serves STARBUCKS!

There are only a couple dining options on campus, but that's the result of a small campus. The food is pretty decent, but the choices are limited.

Could use a larger variety. One company (Bon Appetite) has a contract with Otterbein so that all food on campus is pretty much Bon Appetite. There are restaurants in the area though! Although it is a bit annoying that any school affiliated event on campus cannot have any other food on campus other than Bon Appetite.

Otterbein has many food options, with the main dining hall, a smaller cafeteria, and small stations around campus to get food.

There are four places to eat on campus. The options are good, but it is still cafeteria food in the dining hall.

You can always get something to eat and the food is just amazing even if you are a vegan or even have a sweet tooth.

Some days are better than others.

There are numerous places to grab a quick bite, or even sit down and have a nice meal on Otterbein's campus! The Otterden, located to the right of the Campus Center serves burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, and more, and also includes a small shop where you can grab quick snacks and drinks to go! The Cardinal's Nest upstairs in the Campus Center is where you can eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and the menu is listed daily! The Cardinal's Nest is a buffet-style eating area. The Otterbean is located in the library, and includes sandwiches, salads, snacks, drinks, and now serves Starbucks Coffee! The Roost is in Roush Hall, and has things like paninis, bagels, coffee, and other grab-n-go products!

There are a lot of options on and off campus. Westerville is small and Otterbein is within walking distance of a lot of venues.

There is always a large selection of varieties of food. Different cultured food is easily accessible in the Campus Center. Also, if you leave comment cards, they ALWAYS read them and will value your opinion and try to get whatever you want in there within the week. I, however, must say that you will feel limited sometimes as the deserts are usually obscure and dry, along with the OtterDen always changing and not always for the better.

Greek life is very popular on campus. It's also very active in that they participate in various activities on and off campus.

It's not what you think. None of the Greek Life chapters are affiliated with the national branches, and they are not like they are in the movies if that is what you're looking for (hopefully you are not). I hear they are great and engaging. Personally, I am not part of a sorority because I don't have the time, and your time could better be used elsewhere (studying, getting experience, internships, going out with friends, networking, etc)

Definitely a great part of campus life! No pressure to join, but many find it rewarding. There is probably about 20-30% student involvement in Greek Life.

I am in Greek Life. It's not national so it's not as big of a deal as at some other larger schools.

I decided not to go greek but I do have friends that are and they say it's amazing the people are great.

Very popular here!

There are a lot of Greek Life opportunities.

Is Great like 50% of campus is involved in Greek life

Greek life is a wonderful way to get involved. As a member of Tau Delta, I can say that you will find a circle of friends that will always be there for you, no matter what. You are involved in fundraising, a philanthropy, countless service events, social opportunities, and a scrapbook of memories that will last throughout your whole life.

Greek life is a big deal if you are in it, and if you're not, then it's not a big deal to you. It all depends on what you are looking for.
