    Honestly, the food is not as bad as you would think. Sure it's not home cooking, but it's pretty tasty with lots of variety and healthy options as well.

    I don't know about the commons, but the regular eating establishments in and around the campus are top notch. George Street is of particular notice.

    This also depends on where you are. Of all of the campuses, Livingston provides the best variety in my opinion. Some will say Cook/douglass or Busch. But eating the same food over and over again will get boring, so if you are willing to pay, you can head over to College ave and try out some of the many eateries there.

    The food for breakfast is always the same but for lunch an dinner it changes daily. Lately there are more vegan options due to health concerns of some students. The food overall is pretty good but not amazing. There is a suggestion board and if there is anything you would like you can put it on there and if the staff feels that it is doable then they will make it.

    Rutgers of course has the fraternities and sororities. There are many here, from just crazy party ones to special interest ones. If you are interested in Greek life, you should have no problem with that here.

    Greek life is huge at Rutgers University, and it is well-known for its Greek like houses on College Ave. Between hosting academic programs, to getting involved in community service, Greek life at Rutgers is huge and offers numerous opportunities. You can list it on a job application, and build relationships that will carry on even after college.
