“i can't say much about the dorms because i'm living in the foreign language and culture house, the freshman theme house. it's a great experience, living in relatively private space…”
“the dorms themselves are quite nice in the brick-laid tudor gothic style buildings. there have also been many new renovations and buildings include common areas, a kitchen, and all of…”
“I love dorm life at UPS. I loved the dorm that I lived in my freshman year- the rooms were spacious and had great furniture. The bathrooms are always clean…”
“very safe, organized, and friendly environment.…”
“Everyone gets a room but all freshman living in two to three to a room and community bathrooms. They offer different living environment like coed halls or coed floors.…”
The SUB's food is a little bland but overall not bad and quite convenient.
» Read MoreThe dining facility offer varieties of different foods. Food is prepared fresh everyday and is quite delicious. There is a lot of seating within this facility and more than ample space for the whole campus to eat.
» Read MoreThe food here is pretty decent but it gets old after a while.
» Read MoreThe food is great, and there are many options even for those on special diets. There is an entire section dedicated to vegan/ vegetarian, and there are plenty of gluten free options.
» Read MoreClose to 6th Ave and they have Farmers Market in the warmer seasons!
» Read MoreThe Sub is the Sub, you will need a break from it from time to time, but it will keep you well feed and thriving. 6th avenue has great restaurants so take the ten minute walk and explore Tacoma for a nice meal now and then.
» Read MoreThere are many dining options at the UPS, there is the school lunch area, two cafes, and The Cellar. The cafes make absolutely delicious and reviving drinks, one is inside a glass gazebo type building and provides an interesting environment and a nice study area. I haven't eaten much on campus but what I have had has been reasonably priced and tasty.
» Read MoreThe SUB offers many different types of cuisine daily. There is a station for Italian, Mexican, a grill, sandwich station, vegan, Asian, and much more. Not only is the food delicious but it is not unheard of to mix and match your meal. You might be in the mood for teriyaki chicken with some linguine. The combinations are endless. There is also a pizzeria on the floor below the SUB that serves wings, ice cream, pizza, quesadillas, and sandwiches.
» Read MoreThe food at Puget Sound is pretty good. The dinner area is nice and there will be someone friendly to sit with all of the time.
» Read MoreOne of my top three favorite things about Puget Sound is the food. The sub (the school cafeteria) has stations in which students can choose to get food from: Italian, Latin America, Asian, Vegetarian/Vegan, The Grill, Chef's Table, The Deli, and the salad bar. UPS always has a variety of meals and dishes that are being served- I've never gotten bored or sick of the food there. Not to mention that every thing is delicious. I always enjoy and look forward to eating at the sub.
» Read MoreThe Greek Life here is excellent! I am in a sorority here and I love it. The greek community is very tight knit and everyone is amazing.
» Read MoreIts there and prevalent, very different from big schools however, if you want to take part its easy and available, if you don't its just as easy to ignore.
» Read MoreI am not a part of Greek Life but I have some friends that are and they love it! The Greek Houses I have heard are a little on the cramped side but they have had fun enjoying the company of their sorority sisters and brothers and attending balls.
» Read MoreThere are three fraternities and four sororities on campus. These are not the usual stigma that many of us think of when we think of Greek like. Enforcement of the minimum GPA is strict and most of the time a house will post a better overall GPA than some of the varsity sports teams. A large percentage of the campus is affiliated in Greek life in some way.
» Read MoreThe Greek community has been a part of the University of Puget Sound for over 50 years. Being a member of a Greek organization provides students with opportunities to be active within the campus community, as well as the community at large. Members participate in activities that include academic organizations, student government, clubs and organizations, athletics, social projects, and many others. Puget Sound owns seven Greek chapters in which students may live after their freshman years. The houses are located just across from the university on Union Avenue. There are 3 Fraternities and 4 Sororities.
» Read MoreUnfortunately, I am not a part of Greek Life but I do have a variety of friends who are involved in it. I do plan to rush for a sorority in the Spring 2013. All my friends that are involved- both in a Sorority and a Fraternity- love being a part of it. The Greek Life at Puget Sound is not stereotypical or what one would usually expect of Greek Life, it is welcoming to all kinds of people and extremely understanding and caring to all members. A friend of mine told me that at the beginning of rush, sororities ask your opinion on drugs and alcohol and if you are strongly against using them/have never used them- the sorority doesn't force you to drink or participate in drug usage. That statement made me so happy to know that they were so respectful and understanding.
» Read MoreThere are currently three fraternities and four sororities.
» Read Moreonly about 5-6 fraternities/sororities.
» Read Morethere are 4 fraternities and 4 sororities. the process is different than other schools in that students can only join after their second semester of freshman year. until then, freshman are not allowed in either the frats or sororities.
» Read Moreapparently milder than most schools' fraternities and sororities. i can't speak for the greek life much because i'm not interested in it myself, but i know several people who didn't expect to get involved in it and did anyway, so it might be worth it for you to check it out.
