    Food and dining are great. Sometimes the cafeteria may seem repetitive, but they try to switch it up everyday. There are places like Subway, Moes, and Chick-Fil-A on campus to help change your routinely meals.

    There are a few options for food - Subway (24 hrs), Benson Centre (with Chick-Fil-A, Moe's, Take Two, Forest Greens and a sundry) and the Pit, a proper buffet style dining area. The Pit can get kind of boring sometimes, but if you're not too nit-picky, it's good enough to keep you happy.

    The food here on campus is pretty good. You have the pit which offers a variety of options such as a deli, Mongolian Grill, and an Italian Station, just to name a few, and also places like Chick-Fil-A, Moe's, Boar's Head, Starbucks, etc, if you want to try something new. They are also making plans to expand the food choice options next year by constructing a new dining hall and adding in another Starbucks and an Einstein Bros Bagels.

    The 'Pit' (the dining hall) offers a wide variety of food. There is also another food court with a ton of options, a on campus restaurant, and a 24 hour Subway. There are also a couple of Sundrys that offer snacks and such.

    A lot of dining options considering how small of a school it is. Also Wake is in a very urban spot so there are a lot of dining options off campus and within a short distance of campus.

    Campus tour guides will tell you that its not that big of a deal, but more times than not...your guide is a Greek life member. Greek members are extremely involved and willing to enhance anyone's experience at Wake. If you want to be involved in an amazing group of like-minded people, go Greek.

    Wake Forest IS Greek life. It is incredibly prominent here, and numerous people choose to rush. We follow a spring-rush system and I think it's great: it allows people to make good friends before diving into the world of commitment and drama. People head to the Greek lounges whenever they want to party and they rarely disappoint! It's common for one to toss around stereotypes about the various frats and sororities but come prepared to be proven wrong. I personally refuse to join a sorority and conform to a specific ideal, but almost 60% of students participate in rush!

    It's everywhere. The majority of Wake students are Greek, but you don't have to join. I spent my 4 years hanging out with Greek friends and never joining. To each his own, its a small enough campus you all hang out anyway.

    The majority of Wake Forest is active in Greek Life, yet several students choose not to participate and still enjoy everything that Wake Forest has to offer. In order to allow students to settle in and become used to college life, there is a delayed rush which means that no students can join a Greek organization first semester Freshman year.

    Even though I am not a part of a sorority I am very familiar with Greek Life on campus and can honestly say they bring an extra bang to the school from day to day.

    Greek life is very popular at Wake Forest. Those who participate love it but those who do not are just as happy doing one (or more) of the many activities or groups that Wake has to offer.
