    Food at the school is just average. We have an Au Bon Pain in the Behavioral Sciences Building and a Dunkin Donuts in the Student Center. But all of the food AROUND the school is amazing. Lots of ethnic cuisine in the nearby neighborhoods, with Greektown and Little Italy surrounding the school. Go a bit farther and there's Pilsen for amazing and cheap Mexican food. And go just a little bit farther and there's just loads you can find in the city.

    Normally I would expect cafeteria food to be repulsive, but here at UIC that is not the case. Of course there are days where the meals are not at best quality, but in general the dining services here offer delicious food. Almost every week a different culinary theme is picked, offering a unique dish for students to try.

    There are some sororities and frats, a lot of them for business or ethnicities though. It's all about testing the waters are finding people you really connect with. I've heard some sororities and frats unofficially live together in rental houses or apartments, but they don't have official frat houses or anything on campus.

    Having personally joined a Fraternity here on campus, I can honestly it's one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Both brotherhood and sisterhood alike are rampant at this college. In general, the Greek community here at UIC offers not only a great social life, but also a chance to make friends that will last a lifetime.

    There is greek life but it's different than your ordinary greek life. There isn't usually a big house or a greek row but they will use someone's apartment (usually the president's) as a home base.
