    The food on campus isn't very good but there are plenty of fast food restaurants very close to campus as well as grocery stores.

    There are lots of place on campus where you can buy food whether it is from a club selling or a fast food place like panda express. As for the dorming life, I guess the food depends on the day and where you go to eat out of the 3 dining halls on campus. I'd rank Brandywine, Pippins and then commons.

    One of the bad things here at UCI, but once you know the campus pretty well, then you know what to have for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

    There are several restaurants and even a pub located on campus. The dorm food is proficient.

    There is always more than enough food, just remember not to overfeed yourself. After a while, the dorm food became heavy and repetitive, but what else can you expect? It's not dreadfully terrible. You just don't want to eat it every single day!

    The dorm food is pretty good, but make sure not to become dependent on it. Go into the city to try the cuisine, go to the market to make your own dinner, and don't fall into the chasm of the freshmen 15. Go to the gym to burn it off.

    Greek life isn't very big on campus (only 10% of students) however it is a great way to get to know more people and get more involved. Fraternities as well as sororities differ on what each offers, however this is a Greek organization for every person.

    The Greek community is very productive, it raises hundred of thousands of dollars for great foundations every year. We have the largest philanthropy on the west coast, Greek Songfest, which allows the community to come together to put on a showcase of shortened musicals and raise money for a foundation of the Executive Councils choice every year.

    The greek life is nice. Theres a lot of unique rush events and the housing for the greeks are really pretty. It's expensive, but worth it if you can afford it.

    The Greek Life lacks at UC Irvine. Most of the frats and sororities are similar to one another and there isn't much variety. A lot of them do some serious hazing and it takes up a lot of time.
