    The food is okay, but it's nothing compared to a home-cooked meal. It varies by day and serving size depends on the server (if you're nice, they will generally give you more!). It's a bit expensive, especially for the mediocre quality, but you can just pay for food using Dining Dollars that are part of your housing plan (you get about $2,950 or so in Dining Dollars).

    Some places on campus are better than others. UCSD is always improving their food and dining experience. They will be remodeling the lowest ranked dining hall in Summer 2013.

    Like Dorm Life, depends on where you live. I live in Revelle, and the food is mediocre. You get the eventual hair in your food or find something that doesnt look appetizing, but hey, its a cafeteria. Just t mention, Revelle will be going through cafeteria renovation, so for the 2013-2014 school year, we will not have a cafeteria.

    UCSD has a very active greek life with many organizations whom provide a sense of unity for many students throughout the nation, partnering (usually) with their local SDSU counterparts the greek life always proves to be an interesting/helpful experience.

    I'm not apart of Greek Life, but I've been interested and would like to know more and see how fun it is.

    Greek life is prevalent here, but I do not participate in it, so I do not have any firsthand accounts.

    Basically all of our clubs are called fraternities here at UC San Diego. There is basically no Greek Life as in the traditional term here.
