    The food is okay, but it's cafeteria food. And vegetarian options are terrible. They claim to have good options, but they don't know how to cook vegetarian foods.

    Both times that I have visited the school, I've enjoyed the food at Rams Head dining hall. There is definitely a wide variety of options from Italian, to Southern style, to Japanese.

    Chapel Hill is filled with local restaurants offering a huge variety of ethnic cuisines at reasonable prices. There are many options for vegetarians and vegans and there is a lot of locally grown food sold.

    There are two dining halls on campus which offer a variety of options. Though they can get old after a while, there are plenty of restaurants on the main street next to campus.

    There are two cafeterias on campus that serve pretty good food. There are also tons of different restaurants on Franklin St. from Thai to McDonalds. No matter what your taste buds desire there is something for everyone.

    Very big part of social life here. I hated when I was taking a final exam and could hear their music playing from their porches-- so obnoxious.

    There is a huge Greek life at Chapel Hill. Nearly every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights there are fraternity parties and sorority/fraternity mixers. There are also many events done by the Greek life to raise money for their charities.

    While Greek Life only makes up 18% of the student body, Greek students host events and fund-raisers that are both prominent and beneficial to the community as a whole.

    There is an active greek life, but there are plenty of things to do for people who aren't involved. There is no great division between Greek and non-Greek, and there are several events that are a collaborative effort.

    Alive! Greek is a big factor for most people on campus mainly because they have a sorority or fraternity for just about an religion, race, or idea.

    Has a presence on campus, but does not dominate campus life at all. Many people are involved but you don't feel like you need to be involved to have something to do.
