Student Responses to Review Topic: Food And Dining

    The largest dining hall on campus is the C4C, with an extensive variety including Italian, American, Asian, and Persian, along with a sushi bar and full salad/desert bar. There is also an all organic grab'n'go with vegan friendly options and locally produced foods. The quality of food in the dorm dining halls is questionable, however. There is also plenty of great dining around Boulder, with locally owned restaurants, especially for sushi, Thai, Middle Eastern, and breakfast lovers. Boulder also has several local breweries, tea shops, and a farmers market.

    The food is very good. There are four dining halls as well as grab 'n' go's where you can really quickly just grab food for a meal swipe. The C4C is the main dining hall where you can get all different types of food from Italian to Kosher. Along with the dining halls which you use meal swipes at, there are also food places where you can use money such as Subway, Jamba Juice, and Dominos.

    Greek life is very big here! There are always parties in the community. Not only does everyone party, but the Greek community is very focused on philanthropy and helping the community. No matter what there is a place for everyone in the Greek community.

    The Greek Life on campus is very large- there are many options to sororities and fraternities. Not only do they have Panhellenic Sororities, but they also have Multicultural Sororities and Fraternities.

    Greek life at CU is a fun part of campus-life for those who choose to participate. I personally have not joined a sorority but I have several friends that have and they have loved the experience. Itâ??s a fun way to meet friends and participate in fun Greek life activities!

    I wasn't a part of it, but it definitely looked like a lot of fun. There are many different ones, and I've heard each has its own personality. There is also a Christian sorority and fraternity too.
