    Once again, food and dining can get expensive, but they offer a variety of foods to eat and they adjust their hours to accommodate the variety of schedules students have.

    UT has many places to choose to eat from on and off campus. When staying in the dorms you receive Bevo Bucks and many restaurants around the school do take Bevo Bucks, so you're not completely limited to what's in the dorms.

    There's a dorm called Kinsolving, where I ate my lunch in my 2nd day of visiting there. It was decent. I visited J2 dining hall too and that was nice too. I think the food is pretty good here. And there are so many sick restaurants off campus, so 10 out of 10 for food!

    Dorm food is dorm food. It's like the cafeteria but fancier. There's other options like popular chains on campus and also buffets.

    Some days are better than others at the cafeterias, but overall the food is genuinely good. Every once in a while, there will be special food events and OMG there will be SO MUCH FOOD! I definitely recommend Kins Dining or J2 as the best places to eat on campus. Apart from the cafeterias, there are also other dining locations on campus that will accept Dine-In Dollars like the LPC, Cypress Bend, JCL, Jester Market, Kins Market, etc. There are also places like Taco Bell, Wendy's, Chick-fil-a, Zen, and Taco Cabana on campus that accept Bevo Bucks. Also, the Drag is like right on the edge of campus so there is always a variety of food to choose from all the time.

    As said before, lots of frat and sorority parties, especially for Round-Up. If you want to be a part of the Greek Life, then go for it! There are many different types of sororities and frats, so take a shot at as many as you can.

    The biggest school in the country has one of the biggest Greek Life populations in the country as well. Pretty decent portion of the UT student population is involved in Greek Life.

    The Greek Life here is almost incomparable to any other Greek Life organizations anywhere. There are many different fraternities and sororities for students to join. They all stay in an area also known as West Campus. This is the place where the different Greek Organizations have/hold their events.

    Honestly, Greek life consumes The University of Texas at Austin. I would say about seventy-five percent of students here are in a sorority or fraternity. You do make many tight bonds being involved in greek life. However, without being in one, you can still make great friends within your department and you are still just as cool so no worries!
