Campus Life

Good food just a bit repetitive.

UCSC has 5 different dinning halls that you can go in at whatever time as many times a day as you'd like. The school is very good at accommodating to vegan and vegetarian needs. Each college rotates meals so there is always a different meal at each college.

Food is varied and yumm!

It was rated #1 in vegan food I think in 2011 which a plus to me because Im a vegetarian so they do have a lot of options compared to others schools. Usually has a good variety of healthly food and unheathly food. But they start to serve the same stuff and it gets old.

The food is great! My friend goes and so I've eaten in the dining halls a few times. The food is fresh, healthy, and there's a big variety. They really care about the ethics of the food and there are tons of vegan and vegetarian options.

The best organic/vegan food Ive ever had. Crown dining hall is so good, especially when they serve Indian and Mediteranian food. Very diverse and healthy food choices.

Food at UCSC is very good, but after 3 years of eating it I'm getting a little tired of it. I live in an on-campus apartment now, and have access to a kitchen which has greatly improved my life.

The dining isn't always great, but they still have many foods from different cultures for people to try. Depending on your tastes, you will either love the food, hate the food, or have a neutral feeling toward it. Dining is open most nights and has three separate meal plans to choose from (each have different benefits).

Organic food and not processed. The food variety may be bland, but the food content is very healthy and nutritious. The food isn't as bad as people have perceived.

Decent but most people will get tired by the end of the first quarter. Really depends on which one you go to and what are your needs.

No present greek life

UCSC is know for having a small greek life, but it has gradual growth. Since we are so small then the university has a very close knit greek community.

I've heard they don't have the best Greek life, but it's still present. I plan to make it even bigger if you ask me ;)

Not big here but I know people enjoy them on our campus

There are fraternities and sororities.

It's very minimal at UCSC, but the people who engage in it seem to have a great time!

Non-existent.

There are a number of welcoming fraternities and sororities on campus including social, business, and mixed gendered.

About 10% of students are involved in Greek life, but due to Santa Cruz zoning laws, we aren't allowed to have Greek houses. We do, however, have unofficial ones, which enable those involved in Greek organizations to socialize freely.

Greek life is not very big on campus, however, there are many frats and sororities and they seem to be getting more popular and more attention.
