    It's good it just gets boring after a while. Stay away from the orange chicken though.

    Other students complain about how the menu gets old, but personally I look forward to every meal I eat!

    The food is good but you end up feeling like you are only able to eat the same things over and over again.

    Food's alright; nothing too special. However, every last friday of the month we have people come and make custom sushi rolls. That's pretty awesome. There's always a variety of things to eat

    Although there isn't much of a variety of places to dine at school, the caf food is great for a college. There are many options to eat including a grill, salad bar, classic meals, and international meals. Chefs make everything fresh in front of you. You can go eat at any time throughout the day.

    Is good for college food (not like you're going to choose another college over the food though).

    It seems like Greek life is the only way to get into activities here but it's not really like that. They like to think they play a huge role here on campus but they really don't. No Greek housing. No black frats. AKA is the only black sorority but they have a limited presence on campus. If you're really into Greek life don't expect much.

    Greek life is a large part of Pepperdine. People get extremely involved and into their sororities/fraternities. It keeps the campus's student moral high.

    Greek life isn't a huge deal at Pepperdine but most of the people who are in a frat or sorority love it. It's the perfect way to get involved and meet new people. Plus, there is no hazing to worry about at Pepperdine like at many other schools.

    Several sororities and fraternities. Greek life is different at Pepperdine because it is not centered around the normal themes that come to mind.

    Depending on what kind of social life one likes may determine whether they would want to go Greek or not. Since the population on campus is like 3,000 most everyone is part of Greek, but I am proud to say I'm not but I am part of Business Fraternity called Alpha Kappa Psi (check it out)!!!!!

    The greek life here is medium-sized. It's a big deal to you if your in it, but it doesn't really matter to anyone else. I wouldn't say Greeks run the school or anything

    There are a number of fraternities, just like in any other college, but I can not attest to them having not been a member of any of the fraternities at Pepperdine. I would imagine that they would be different than many of the partying fraternities or sororities of other campuses.
