    The food and dining services at the University of Dayton are spectacular. The service is fantastic, as you are greeted with a smile at every cafeteria. However, the food selection can get repetitive, and therefore Brown Street is always a good alternative with your usual restaurants that one finds near a college campus.

    We have fresh sushi and a Chipotle-esque bar in one of our dining halls. The rest of the food is also pretty good and sometimes chefs will make a special dish of their own-these meals are normally awesome. The stores on campus are good about sourcing locally and I've run into vendors and chefs who also sell at the local farmers market.

    Pretty good, gets a bit pricey at times, though. The area around campus has a multitude of delivery services and restaurants.

    Food is very good (I recommend the Mongolian grill and sushi at VWK) they have plenty of healthier alternatives and not a mcdonalds or burger king in sight on campus. Brown Street is where you can walk down to Panera or Chipotle get some studying done and get food if you want. Popular places every student must go to are Bad Frog yogurt, Milano's and Dewey's pizza.

    Absolutely amazing. Meal plans can be used at Marycrest dining hall, Virginia Kettering Dining Hall, Kennedy Union, The Emporium (a small market in marianist), Stew's Landing (a small market in Stewart Hall), and the chill a smoothie place in the rec center. Flyer Express a type of debit account can also be used at the bookstore and places on Brown Street (the main street at UD). All of the food is delicious and the dining hall in Virginia Kettering Hall is more like a restaurant (a mic of sushi, chipotle, panera, and an incredible omelette bar...) than a college cafeteria.

    The food and dining is average. For the first few weeks it's good, but I quickly got sick of it. There is not a lot of variety for food, but you can go off campus to some of the restaurants.

    As all freshmen try to avoid the freshmen 15 it's not to hard at Dayton to not because they have a variety of meals that are healthy. All of the food is good quality and the dining halls are kept clean. The best part of the food service is the people working it, because they are always so friendly and caring.

    Greek life is fun if you are part of it, but it is not one of those campuses where one needs to be in one to make friends. A small percentage of the students are in a greek organization, but the sense of community at Dayton is so overwhelming that everybody is friends with everybody else.

    Greek Life isn't big, so it's not like you have to be involved to have a life. If you are, it's not a big deal either so it's really what you're motivated to do.

    I'd say approximately 20% of students are involved in Greek life. Sororities are more popular than fraternities. They are a fun thing to be part of , but are not very over whelming on campus.

    The Greek life is not a huge part of campus, but it is there. There are opportunities to join in on a fraternity or sorority.
