    It's Sodexo. I don't think its awful, but a lot of students do. They do offer comment cards and are usually very responsive to students comments and have been changing and improving during the two years I've been there.

    The only decent dining options are Jazzman's for smoothies and coffee, and Nagel for to-go meals. The cafeterias aren't great. There are a few little carts set up selling food, but those are really just average. Off campus dining is better, and there is a Noodles, Anthony's, and great Thai place nearby.

    The food is pretty good, especially in comparison to many other schools. The quality can very sometimes, but the flexible dining hours makes the dining situation a lot better.

    We are freaks about sustainability. We have all locally grown food (or as much as we can while still serving 3000 kids a day), fair trade coffee, rarely do we ever eat anything genetically modified or over processed, and we do a good job of giving vegans, vegetarians, gluten free, and dairy free options. That being said, the food is slightly above average.

    Food and dining is exquisite! The cafeteria caters to anyone's individual needs including those with gluten free allergies. Also the Women's college provides meals every weekend catering from a number of top rated restaurants around the city.

    You will never starve on campus! There are food vendors everywhere, and many are student run.

    The food and dining provides students with a nice variety of foods and even offers vegetarian and vegan dishes. It is not too hard to try to switch things up given that there are several places to eat on campus.

    The food has its good days, but sometimes it's not so great. But what I love is that in the dining halls, it's all-you-can-eat dining, which is not the case at many other universities.

Student Responses to Review Topic: Greek Life

    Greek life is a presence at the school, but you don't feel left out if you're not a part of it. Less than half the student body takes part. The frat parties aren't that great and everybody ends up at the bar anyway. We have a good selection of frats and sororities, but you don't need to feel like you should join to get the social experience of the school. If you have trouble making friends, I highly recommend rushing and joining a sorority or frat, as that's a great way to do that.

    It's there if you want it, not if you don't. About 20% of the school is Greek, and we're a fairly inclusive bunch. When we have philanthropies, the whole school is invited, and we're a pretty strong community within ourselves. We support each other at our events and have frequent mixers that are always fun.

    Greek life is great at DU, there are plenty of sororities and fraternities. What is great about greek life, however, is that they are not exclusive--even if you aren't a part of greek life, you're still welcome to participate in their activities.

    Greek life is good, but not everything if you don't want to be in it. You can still party and still be a part of the school. I believe about 20% of campus is Greek.

    about 30% of the campus is Greek. Greek life can be fun but if you're not involved you won't feel left out. you can still go to parties and be involved with their philanthropy events.
