Campus Life

Great choices and quality of food.

Better than most schools you visit. Everything is made from organic products.

The main dining hall is great! The variety truly is amazing and I have yet to get sick of the food. From daily specials to Mexican food, you can truly find anything to sooth your appetite. Food is available early in the morning until late at night, making it accessible for any person with a strange schedule.

The dining hall provides great food to the entire campus. We have many different options to choose from such as burgers, pizza, Mexican food, pasta, and a salad bar. The food is delicious and is a good deal.

Catered by BonAppetit, the dining services at Santa Clara University are some of the best in the nation. This is the same dining organization that caters for companies like Google and Yahoo, and they pride themselves on supporting local farmers and organic produce. Besides that, the food options are numerous, from Asian Fusion to Mexican, to a Pasta/Salad bar, to a Deli and more, and they are all delicious. The quality and availability of the food at Santa Clara is exceptional compared to most other universities in the country. They were also just the second university to integrate Tapingo, a dining services organization that utilizes a smartphone app and website to allow students to order their food from mobile devices so that it is ready to pick up when they arrive.

Great food with numerous healthy choices

On campus dining is pretty average. The food is good but gets old after a while. There are many options surrounding campus, but with the immense amount of meal points few students will need to eat out using their own money often.

The food at Benson (the main eating area) is good. They have new specials every day and they are really good. Their food is very expensive though, but luckily with dining points its not that bad. If you have to pay out of pocket, its super expensive.

The food here is incredibly delicious. As a girl speaking, even the salads are good, but for the guys, the portions are more than enough and everything is fresh, they just do NOT mess around with the food here, and the options are practically endless.

Wonderful salad bar! Fresh food! Yes, it may be redundant, but this is the best food on a college campus I have experienced. Sandwich bar is great too!

Greek life is awesome at SCU. It is not affiliated with the school. It is a great way to make friends and socialize, but you don't have to be apart of greek life to have fun at SCU.

Fraternities and Sororities are not recognized by the school. We do have Greek Life but only about 20% of the student population participates.

Not involved

While far less than a majority of students are part of the Greek system, Greek life is very prevalent among the student body and around campus. The sororities and fraternities are not recognized by the university, but there are still houses off campus and a large amount of parties throughout the year are hosted at the fraternities.

Although the Greek Life at SCU is not officially tied to the school, we still have 5 wonderful sororities and 4 great fraternities. Wonderful way to find your place, make friends and get involved!

Greek Life is semi popular at SCU, but it's not make it or break it. The sororities and fraternities aren't affiliated with the school, but they are still tons of fun and a great way to get involved. However, if Greek Life isn't for you, don't worry. You don't need to participate in Greek Life to have a social life, or to be friends with the people who are in Greek Life!

Although the school does not officially recognize Greek life, there are a few sororities and fraternities off campus, and while it is not necessary to join the greek system, many who do find it an extremely rewarding experience.

About 20% of our students are involved in Greek life. Technically Santa Clara does not have Greek Life but that just means that the school itself is not funding the institutions.

i am not involved in greek life.
