    UCLA provides its students with a large variety of food. There are regular dining halls such as De Neve and Covel, but there are also unique ones such as Feast, which serves Asian cuisine, and Hedrick, which serves healthy food. BruinCafe serves coffee, pastries, ice cream, smoothies, sandwiches, wraps, and salads. Rendezvous serves Mexican and Asian food. There is a different menu in the dining halls every day, and in other places, they have daily specials you can order.

    They have a variety of restaurants on campus, but it helps that it is a commuter school so there are many other restaurants to eat at near school.

    The dorm food is good and it's nice that it's a buffet. There are lots of fast food joints available, from Carl's Jr. to Subway to Panda Express. Everything that they don't already have on campus you can easily find in Westwood. Whatever you want to eat, it should be somewhere on or near campus.

    They have a lot of food options, when I went and visited the campus with my school we ate in one of the food halls in a dorm. It was a buffet style, with numerous options to choose from and it was delicious.

    The food is the best part about going here! The dining halls alternate what meals they serve and offer new options about every quarter. The only downside is that you can only use your meal plan at certain locations, and none of them are on campus (they're all in the residential area).

    There are many fraternities and sororities on campus that may be applicable to a student's interests. There are ones for socializing, ones for culture and tradition, and ones for your major. There are also groups for religion and volunteering.

    Greeks at UCLA are very involved, and role models on campus. They participate in many philanthropic events, and are a very close-knit group, supporting each other.

    As a member of the Greek community, I can definitely say that the Greek life is great. The houses are really close to campus (sororities are closer than the dorms!) and are all on the same street, which is fun. Being a part of a sorority has given me some of my best memories here and I highly recommend it. Even as I write this, I'm sitting in the living room of my house waiting to see what lunch will be for today... it's pretty great and you make some really close friends.
