    Food is delicious and the a-la-carte payment method prevents overeating common at schools with all-you-can-eat dining services. There is a wide variety of food and the school is very accommodating for those with any dietary restrictions such as Kosher, Halal, Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-free, and Kosher for Passover.

    The food is quite good and reliable, however, it can get boring after a long time of eating just on campus. The only vendor allowed on campus besides the company that provides the campus-wide catering is Subway. They have one location on main campus. I would suggest rotating the locations you are eating at to provide some variety. Seating can be difficult to find on main campus during the lunch-rush. Holmes lounge (main campus) is a favorite at lunchtime for wraps and the Village (upperclassmen housing area) has the best stir fry.

    Wash U has a very diverse selection in food. Dining is very luxurious. Ibby's is a 5-star restaurant located on campus.

    The food is excellent. Every Saturday and Sunday there is an all-you-can-eat brunch, there are many small cafes for snacks, food choices range from pizza to steak to vegan options to stir fry. One day I'll eat chicken strips and mozzarella sticks, and the next day I'll eat calamari and steak. Everything is delicious.

    There are too many options for food on-campus, and the Delmar Loop, a short walk from campus, is replete with dining options and trendy boutiques.

    The food is AWESOME. Just come visit. The main dining areas are open until 2am during the week and 3am on weekends. I have not met a person who doesn't like the food served at our school.

    About 30% of the student body participates in Greek Life. Among the more social students that frequent local bars, clubs, and campus parties, the percentage is much higher. The sororities and fraternities are all very inclusive, however, and belonging to one is not necessary to participate in most events.

    WashU night life is based on Greek Life, not to say that you need to be a member of a sorority or a fraterity to be invited to these events. All registered parties are required to be open to all WashU students at no charge.

    Greek life is very active on campus, however, you do not need to be involved in greek life to have a social life on campus. The major down fall is that sororities don't have their own houses because of an old Missouri state law forbidding a large amount of women from living together.
