    The food in the cafeteria is okay at best most of the time, but on occasions the cooks can surprise you. There are always healthy food choices, and quite a bit of variety for a small school. I would recommend visiting the BOB INN as much as possible though becasue you will find much better food in their.

    The food is similar to my high school's food. It's really great some days and other days it's meh. I don't mind the food too much, except the eggs, but they have brownies which makes up for it.

    There are three options for dining at Peru: the cafeteria, the Bob, and the Den. The cafeteria is buffet style and usually has a salad bar, a sandwich bar, desserts, cereal and a line or two of hot food. The Bob is the fast food option, and it is really greasy, but also has some variety. The Den is a coffee shop that also has granola bars and other prepackaged food. All three can be used with a meal plan, cash, or credit/debit cards.

    We are a small campus with a single cafeteria that has two dining areas. One is a basic line with things like pasta, chicken, a salad bar, cold sandwiches, a desert bar and a varying array of homemade dishes. The other side is a Grill where you can order burgers, fries, pizza, and other fast-food type items.

    I hope you like chicken because it's a constant item on the menu. The food is rather decent. There is always a salad bar offered at lunch and dinner.

    unfortunately there is no actual greek life really on the campus. there are a small hand full of people who are in fraternities and sororities at our school but they had to go through the greek process at another campus.
