    Who doesn't like food? Forget about the cafeteria food you had in high school or in middle school. UT cafeterias serve an array of different flavors to satisfy your taste buds. You will never get bored of the many cafeterias and food variety to choose from.

    The food can get monotonous, but there are several options to choose from on Guadalupe St., which is adjacent to the campus.

    The food is alright. You do get a lot of money on your student card that you can use for school dining and outside the school dining which is great.

    If you live in a dorm, a meal plan is included with the housing contract. You can use your student ID at campus dining locations for discounted prices (about $5 for all you can eat!). Money can be added to the student ID also. There is also Guadalupe Street, which is a long strip right next to campus full of shops and restaurants. Food trucks are also big in Austin. For those who cook, there are grocery stores close to campus.

    Cypress has the best dorm food on campus, but it does get old after a while. If you're looking to eat clean or healthy, don't get your hopes up too high.

    There is extensive Greek Life on the UT campus. There are several houses for the sororities and fraternities. Some are academic based, while others are based on community service or social life.

    I am not a part of the Greek Life but I know people who are. From what I have heard, there are a variety of fraternities and sororities.

    Greek life is insane and competitive. If you're planning on rushing, go for it. Just don't go to crazy. And maybe come up with a new trend...pastel colors, Nike shorts, Patagonia, and big t-shirts are getting old.

    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.
