    It's college food. It's not the best food you've ever had, but it's definitely not the worst. I've been on a lot of college campuses and would have to say we have some of the best. The dining hall is very accommodating of allergies and dietary needs, however, and we do have an entire vegetarian station. Not to mention, we do have fresh made-to-order eggs every morning and made-to-order pancakes on the weekends.

    Food can be ok. They can not add any flavoring (such as spices) to the food due to people with food allergies.

    Its just okay, some nights are better than others. They are pretty good about catering to all different sorts of dietary restrictions.

    Ehh...I've had better. But it's definitely not terrible. My preferences just tend to differ from their menu.

    There are not many places to dinner in walking distance of the campus since its in the woods in a small town. But the Bistro on campus is nice, and the main dining hall has some nice options.

    The food and dining is very well done. The food is prepared and you can eat for a couple hours each meal. you meet many people and even teachers in the dining hall. There is alot of good healthy food and you get a different variety of types of food.

    We do not have Greek Life, but we do have Tap Clubs! Tap clubs are student interest-based organizations on campus that each have a rival. We have 11 clubs total--obviously number 11 is still waiting on a rival! Some of my favorite rivalries: Sweet Tones and Ear Phones (Sweet Tones can sing, Ear Phones are just plain loud!), Paint 'N' Patches and Ain'ts 'N' Asses (PnP enjoys theatre, AnA enjoys... comedic skits resembling theatre), Taps on Toes and Falls on Nose (TNT can dance, FON falls on their noses to help others).

    Even though we don't have Sororities, we have Tap Clubs. Which is basically the same thing! Each club has rivals, and everything!

    Sweet Briar does not have any sororities because the campus community is small its like being in a sorority anyway!

    Although Sweet Briar doesn't have Greek Life, Tap Clubs replace sororities on campus. If you're lucky enough to be tapped into one of these clubs, you'll experience a sense of sisterhood unlike any other.

    Sweet Briar does not have Greek Life, however it does have Tap Clubs, which basically is the same thing with a different name. The Tap Clubs range from dancing and singing, to the funniest and the clumsiest. Most of them are very selective and while for the more traditional ones you have to audition, some of them you simply have to be able to stand out from the crowd and they pick you.
