    Expensive but pretty good food, there is a lot of variety and they serve a lot of hawaiian type food because of the number of students who have come from hawaii. A lot of people stop paying for their meal plan after their first year at college because it is so expensive though. But next year, there are plans to have a new dining service, so everythings on the table.

    It would have been 3/5, but they got sushi in the dining hall so that's a definite plus! It is very expensive meal plan though...

    Not a lot of vegetarian/vegan options, but the school is trying really hard to improve in that area. Although the food can get repetitive, there is a student store to shop in and there are regular forums where dining services is willing to listen to students' ideas.

    The ROFC (dining center) is actually pretty disgusting after only a few weeks. The food is generally pretty bland and unhealthy. Occasionally there are good options, but it's nothing to call home about.

    Because Pacific is such a small school, there is not a huge variety of food. Several students wish for more interesting and appealing food choices. It can be something a student will need to have some resiliency to.

    The food situation is improving; we are working on getting more produce locally and receiving our meat from quality farms.

    Many students say that Aramark (the cafeteria) food is gross, but in my opinion, it's good enough. A bit overpriced, though.

    Real Food on Campus has great homestyle meals for a good value. The Bistro also has a starbucks which is a nice convenience.

    There's a little bit of greek life... but not much. You can occasionally hear some brotherhood chanting outside in the middle of the night how awesome they are, or while you're at the dining hall, some pledge girls are told to sing in front of everyone eating, but I do not know much about it, other than that.

    I am involved in a sorority here and my sisters have become my closest friends and supporters.

    Greek life is not what it is in big universities here. No fraternity/sorority has a house, and there is not always a positive vibe if you belong to one.

    I am a member of Delta Chi Delta, and I love being in the sorority. There are four sororities and three fraternities, each with its own unique personality. Pretty much everyone can find a group they will fit in with. Pacific University has a strong anti-hazing policy.
