    The food is pretty good. People who have Celiac will have a hard time on campus.

    Great food! Lots of options(Three dining halls, many a la carte places), and very friendly staff. Much better than what I expected from a school.

    Villanova has many options for food, with a large salad bar and fruits, as well as rotating hot meals, sandwiches, soups, and more. There is a lot of variety, and meal plans offer many different places to eat. There are also restaurants surrounding the campus that are not too far to walk to.

    The dining halls serve average food but this is made up for by the availability of good restaurants and cheap (not always mutually exclusive) restaurants.

    The food really is not that bad. As the pickiest eater I know, I still manage to eat everyday so you know the food has to have some quality to it. Try to go to different dining halls/areas every once in a while so you can get more variety. Trust me, you will get bored of the food if you don't switch it up a bit.

    Not an overwhelming presence on campus, but a good way to find a group of friends that will last your whole life. Ignore the stereotypes of each frat or sorority.

    About 50% of women are Greek, and 30% of men are Greek, so while if you want to be in a sorority or fraternity this is a ready option, there are plenty of people who do not participate in this. Freshmen cannot rush until their second semester.

    I am not really a part of the Greek system because I only just started but it is around. Rushing starts later in the year so we'll see.

    Greek life exists but barely. If your lifelong dream was to join a frat or sorority, I would go somewhere else. If you're not that into it but still want to join one then go for it. I'm not a fan of greek life which is why Villanova is perfect because they're not overly in-your-face about their group.

    I am part of KD, one of the sororities and it is amazing! There is always something going on and the girls in my sorority are so nice.

    There are 10 fraternities and 9 sororities, but I am not involved it Greek life. Those that I know who do participate in Greek life tell me that they love it. At the same time, though, I do not feel left out for not being part of it. I am happy with my decision to not be a part of a sorority.
