Campus Life

The food here is AMAZING. I lose weight when I come back to school because it's so easy to eat healthy.

The cafeteria is fantastic. Catered by Bon Appetit, which also runs the cafe in the student commons, provides lots of fresh, well-balanced, and local options for all types of dietary needs. Randy Clay, who runs the cafeteria, is a beloved campus celebrity and lets the students post on a bulletin board outside the cafeteria about what they do/don't like, and suggestions for meals. The Pause is a student run kitchen that is very cheap, but has slow turn times on items like pizzas. Dining in Northfield is pretty good, with some fast food options, as well as more upscale and ethnic restaurants as well.

The cafeteria at St. Olaf is one of the best in the country, and has really good food. Most students keep their meal plan and eat in the cafeteria all four years, unless they live off campus. St. Olaf also has a small cafe called The Cage, which also has awesome food. There is also The Pause, which serves pizza and other food. They also have delicious shakes.

EXCELLENT! My mom's cooking is good, but you can't beat St. Olaf. You have your own desert area with fresh baked cheesecakes, cookies, etc. Great vegetarian, vegan, gluten, etc options. There is a chef that makes your own omelets for you, like Benihana style! Students who have severe food allergies are greatly accommodated by the head chef, and students are able to text the chef to tell him what they want to eat!

All students eat most of their meals in Stav Hall, or the Caf. Their also options to eat at the Cage, a cafe, and the Pause, a pizza and snack kitchen. The food is great! There usually a lot of different options, including different options for vegetarians/vegans and those with food allergies.

We've been ranked in the top 5 college cafeterias for several years now! While the food is healthy and the cafeteria workers are great, ít deos get old after a while, adn nothing is ever spicy

One fo the best food service providers hands down.

I have never eaten such delicious food in all of my life. We're the best, no doubt about it. There are a plethora of choices every night and options for every style of eater.

Wonderful food and dining options at their caf, including a salad bar.

The food is rated like the first or second best college food in the united states.

None! Instead, people join clubs, live in honor houses, and meet people they live with in their freshman dorms.

Aside from some honor clubs for specific fields of study, there is no Greek life.

We don't have Greek Life at St. Olaf.

None

Not existant.

There are parties but it's not as bad as other college partying.

None. But there is a supply of athletes and bros who will give you more than enough frat-boy-minded exposure.

There is no Greek Life on this campus.

None.

There is no Greek Life. Instead, if you wish to live in a house associated with the campus there are Honor Houses that are very nice. I have not lived in an Honor House but have heard they are full of great fellowship and worth it.
