    SO MANY OPTIONS. Cal Dining is alright (it gets very repetitive) but there are numerous options to eat out GOOD food all over whether down College in Elmwood or down Shattuck in the Gourmet Ghetto.

    I'm not a picky eater, so I think dorm food is perfectly fine! Sometimes even delicious! But it does get repetitive, you are not allowed to take leftovers out, and it's expensive compared to off-campus dining.

    Greek life is interesting, I would say that most of my friends are in the greek system but I'm glad that I chose not to join myself.

    Big part of social scene, especially for freshman who know no one.

    Greek Life is pretty big at Berkeley. It's a great way to get involved and make the campus seem smaller.

    The Greek life within UC Berkeley is very vibrant, since there are multiple fraternities and sororities of different interests that a student may join. These groups participate in many activities, including (but not limited to) intramural sports, social functions, philanthropies, and community service. When looking for a certain fraternity or sorority, it is important that students join a group that best fits their personality (in correspondence to the group's mission or motto) rather than relying on possible biased opinions.

    Very active, apparent greek row. Many fairly large official sororities and fraternities but there are also many pre-professional and service oriented opportunities in Greek Life on campus.
