Campus Life

Hit and miss. Some dining halls are the bomb all the time, while others are usually so-so and have their on days. In general however, dining is well above average. Did I mention all (9?) dining halls can be accessed within the dorm? One will (usually) never have to leave the dorm for food.

The food in the dining halls is amazing. The staff working in the dining halls are devoted to the students' satisfaction and are constantly looking for ways to improve their service. You can request food that you would like to eat and they will do their best to provide it for you the next time you show up at the dining hall. There is great service and it very easy to get used to the wonderful catering.

Food choices are plenty on campus. I am very satisfied with the dining services, including their decision to buy organic fruits and veggies, and the numerous fun events they host year-round including Ramen Wars and Mardi Gras Night!

There are lots of dining halls to choose from. It's a hit or miss type of thing if the food is amazing or just ok.

Stanford has some great dining halls, but I am slightly biased because I have a food allergy. Overall, there is always fresh and healthy options. Or, late night snacks of the non-healthy but oh-so-comforting variety.

Every big dorm has its own dining hall. The food is on the better side, considering it is mass-produced. Meals are buffet system; you may grab as much food as you like and enter and exit as many times during one meal. This means you have unlimited fruit, soda, eggs, etc.; some people stockpile these in their rooms. If you get sick of dorm food, there are fast food joints on campus like Panda and Subway where you can spend real money or your meal plan dollars.

World Renowned chef! In certain dorms the food is amazing and others not so much but it beats other colleges by far. They have 3 dining plans 1. 19 meals a week 2. 14 meals a week w/ Stanford dollars 3. 10 meals a week w/ Stanford dollars they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday - Friday, on the weekend they serve brunch and dinner *Stanford dollars is the currency used in the school though they still accept regular currency a.k.a federal reserve bills They have cafes, (no accent mark), Starbucks, etc. most of them are open really late like 2 a.m. in the morning Overall great dining setting it beats most New York restaurants *the offer vegan and vegetarian meals and are tolerant in fact compliant with the diets of religious obligation

Excellent food everywhere. Plenty of dining halls with healthy options, and with the newly opened Arillaga dining center, food at Stanford keeps on improving exponentially.

Lots of options on campus with convenient hours. As long as you are willing to walk or bike over, there is always something open and everything is fairly affordable.

The food I ate over the summer was as good as if not better than most college dining halls I have tried. There are a lot of dinign halls on campus so no matter where you live, food is close at hand. Also, some of the dining halls have late-night, which is served from 11pm to 2am I believe and can be payed for with Cardinal Dollars. These come with your meal plan and can also be used at other food places on campus such as The Axe and Palm, Subway, Panda Express, or the new Starbucks in Tresidder Union. You can also purchase additional Cardinal dollars.

Though small in comparison to public Universities, the Greek Life at Stanford is surprisingly much larger than one anticipates. Not only in number of men and women directly involved, but also in their involvement with the entire campus of students. Everything every fraternity puts on, whether it be Saturday night party or otherwise, is all-inclusive (read: not exclusive in the slightest).

Greek life at Stanford is unique. There are three housed sororities and many house fraternities. Greek life has a large social presence on campus.

Not very active apparently but they're their.

A small and eclectic greek life that is not the center of all parties, but is definitely active. If you want to have a greek life experience, it is yours for the taking.

I personally am not planning on Greek Life, but it is a great social tool. Although a small percentage of the population at Stanford is Greek, those who are really enjoy it. http://osa.stanford.edu/greek/

It's there but not essential. Most of the partying happens in greek houses but not all of it.

Ehh...it's okay. I am not particularly very involved, but if you are looking for a lot of partying you can definitely find it with the greeks.

I don't know much about Greek life at Stanford other than the fact that they exist and the people who participate in it keep it going at a healthy level.

Not that active, especially compared to USC or Washington U. in St. Louis. However, I'm not in to Greek life, so that wasn't a big deal.

Rush is in the Spring, giving freshman a chance to mingle before those hectic few weeks. Since less than 20% of students are Greek, it does not dominate the social scene at Stanford.
