Campus Life

The food in the Campus Inn is good during breakfast and lunch but once you get to dinner, it seems as if the chef got tired and served what was left from lunch. It is expensive to eat in the Campus Inn too.

There are two options available at Whittier College for on campus dining. The first is the CI or campus Inn which offers a salad bar, soup, sandwich making station, and at least one vegetarian and meat entree. There is also a dessert bar and a variety of beverages available. While a bit pricey for students who do not have a meal plan, it offers different choices in a buffet style format. The other dining option is the SPOT which is sort of like a mini-mart (7 eleven style) that offers refrigerated and frozen food as well as fresh meals made to order. Also a bit pricey, the SPOT offers a limited amount of food options with salads being the only real vegetarian friendly option. Luckily there are many off campus dining options. There are many restaurants and fast food joints within walking distance from the campus. For commuters who like to pack their own lunch there are microwaves and refrigerators on campus that can be used to re-heat and maintain you food cool.

I haven't had any food from Whittier College yet, but judging from their menu, the food sounds amazing.

I liked the food; many hate it. But for cafeteria fare, it's pretty good.

The food is cooked fresh before every meal, with one course at least made to order for each one. They always offer vegetarian options, and almost everything served is healthy, as well as delicious.

The food in the cafeteria is good and so is food served at The Spot. Just beware of lunch hours (12-1) because these places will get extremely packed and you will find yourself waiting in line for a while.

The food at Whittier is not amazing, I am not a big fan of it. But you will not die of starvation there is plenty of restaurants around the school and the spot is a place on campus that has amazing curly fries and good food.

Horrible cafeteria food.

Food is typically good.

Bon Appetit is our caterer and the food is much better than the stigma of dorm food makes it seem! I love the mashed potatoe bars and handmade pizzas!

There are a lot of events hosted by societies on campus which I hear are very interesting. It's all very secretive to outsiders so not much can be said. Pledging season is quite a sight though.

We have societies, which are the same thing but on a smaller scale.

There are numerous fraternities and sororities at Whittier College. There's a little something for everyone.

There is no greek affiliated sororities of fraternities, they are called societies.

Whittier College does not participate in the Greek system, however we have our own Society system. It is smaller than the Greek system and it provides closer interaction among current Society members and the alumni. There is a very close connection among current members and alumni which is highly useful for post graduation.

No Greek affiliation, but we do have societies which are similar in relationship building.

Whittier College does not have Greek life, but we do have societies. Societies are pretty similar to fraternities and sororities, but they are not affiliated with the Greek program. There are eleven societies on campus and it is a great way to meet other people and network with other students and organizations.

Whittier is unique in that we don't go by the greek system, we have societies rather than fraternities or sororities. I pledged this past year for the Franklin Society, the oldest society at Whittier College, and it was the best thing I've done. Being part of this community is awesome and I would really suggest new students take a good look into it. It's all about getting involved and putting yourself out there.

There are so many Greek Houses! Some only for boys, some only for girls, and some for both!

Whittier' College has ten fraternities and sororities, but we call them societies. Five of them are for women, four are for men, and one is co-ed. They focus on academics, leadership, and service but they also create lots of fun!
