    The food is actually pretty good. My favorite is Ovid's; they have the best breakfast! There are several dining options on campus and they offer basically anything you could want.

    There are tons of places to eat on campus that are really good. My only issue is most of the places that accept meal plan swipes are in the same area away from a lot of the dorms and classrooms, so it's hard to make full use of those.

    I'm a vegetarian and have few, if any options. Also, the quality of the food is very poor and there's not a variety.

    I am a part of Greek life on campus and it is the best decision I made. It allows you to grow as a person and helps shape you into your best self. I have sisters I can rely on if things get tough.

    The University of Kentucky is known for Greek life. Most of the campus is involved in sorority or frat.

    I am a part of Greek life on campus and I absolutely love it! It keeps me very involved with the school and has given me so many opportunities that I wouldn't have had without it. A large percentage of this university is involved with Greek organizations and I strongly encourage people to consider joining it.

    Although I am not part of Greek here at UK, many of my friends are, and I would have to say that UK is a great place if you are interested. With so many sororities and fraternities to choose from, you are bound to find one that is just right for you.
