Campus Life

Food and Dining at UCSB is okay. There are a variety of food stations with a variety of options.

The school seems to have a lot of different dining halls with a lot of different options for food that change each day, so students have lots of variety in their meals.

At first the buffets at the dining commons are good but by the end of the quarter the options don't seem as appetizing. The dining commons provide healthy food and small portions. Meals do not role over and you can now swipe in multiple times a meal.

The food is great and there are various options, especially for vegans and vegetarians. I especially enjoy that they use sustainable food.

On campus dining is alright. There are plenty of restaurants nearby in IV but there isn't much ethnic variety in terms of cuisine and the food is pricier than other places.

Our commons are SO healthy and delicious! I never leave unsatisfied because in each common there is so many options and we have a lot of commons to chose from. Then the on and off campus food is even better!

Dining commons are great. all kinds of food at your fingertips. it's a great time to hang out with friends and relax.

The dining common food here is quite amazing and not bad whatsoever.

On-campus dining is OK. Dining commons are not too bad but they get old. We have a Panda Express, local burger place, local taco place, Jamba Juice, coffee, Subway, a crepe place, and probably a few more places. There are also carts around campus to get snacks. In the community of Isla Vista there isn't much variation but it is all pretty delicious food, albeit overpriced.

Best dining commons: DLG and Carillo. There are many meal choices in these places, most of which are pretty good and vary on the different days of the week. However, eating anything for too long makes you tired of it. Having fewer meals and lots of granola bars/fruit to eat on your own is nice. You can bring mini-fridges into the dorms.

Greek Life is prevalent at UCSB but it is not the only form of a social life.

Like in many colleges, there are panhellenic and multicultural sororities and fraternities. Anyone interested in joining one, there should be one that suits you.

There are a ton of Greek orgs from Panhellenic ones to the professional ones. It's awesome.

It isn't necessarily huge at UCSB because life in Isla Vista doesn't need the Frat's and Sororities to be fun! Everyone can go out and have a good time!

Not into Greek life.

Greek Life is not big here--only 10 percent--but it seems like pretty much most Greeks here are happy. You can get a social life either way.

Not exposed.

It's not a major part of the culture here, but we still do have some great frats and sororities.

Greek life at UCSB can be a bit crazy but I know many people who are involved in it and love it. There are both Panhellenic and academic fraternities and sororities. The greek life at UCSB offers experiences that can't be had any other way than by participating.

Amazing
