    The food is really delicious. I'm a vegetarian and don't ever feel like I don't have any options. We have a vegetarian section and a gluten free section and I hear the gluten free food is just as yummy!

    The options are limited and the food is expensive. There are a number of surrounding restaurants off-campus that are pretty good, but it would be vastly improved if the university moved one or two of these on-campus.

    Dewick dining hall has one of the better spreads that I've seen on college campuses.

    The food is pretty good for dining hall food. They do a solid job of always providing a ton of options, but the same courses can get old after awhile.

    Dewick and Carmichael are the two main dining halls and both have their pros and cons, but all in all, the food here is very good and there are many outside options.

    our food is wonderful! the downhill dining hall is great for groups, but the uphill dining hall does amazing theme nights (mystery basket food challenge, greek night, seafood night, etc).

    I'm in a coed fraternity, which is a little different from normal Greek houses, but I absolutely love it. Greek life isn't dominant on campus, but for people who want to get involved, it's a great set of houses.
