New York University Campus Life

My cousin loves the food here.

There are so many places to eat in and outside of NYU. The Washington Square area has many food carts, a number of eateries, and dining halls. Even going for a 15 minute walk away from the dorms, you can find a nice diner, restaurant, or some place to get quality food.

Chick Fil A, Starbucks, and Dunkin Donuts all take some form of my meal plan, so I would say that its much better than I've head from my friends in other universities.

NYU food is pretty good compared to some colleges' food. I heard it has a very high rating for campus food and am not surprised. We have fresh locally sourced fruit and vegetables every single day, but you still get tired eventually. After freshmen year, we are not required to have a meal plan, which is great, since there are so many amazing restaurants, eateries, halal stands, and food trucks around the campus, so you can always switch things up.

good.

i have fixed feels for the prices and availability of food nearby the main campus. being a native new yorker the price for quality of food around washington square park is pretty bad.

it's nyc, need i say more?

plenty of food available all around at many different areas, and it all tastes good.

the variety of food that the school itself provides is endless: chick-fil-a, jamba juice, breakfast buffet, dinner buffet, lunch buffet, chinese food...the list goes on! best of all, you are in nyc! go be yourself and stuff up! (hayden has the best chocolate chip cookies).

there are lots of options for everyone. whether you are a vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free, they most likely have something for you. there are a total of five dining halls, so you can mix it up. some are better than others, but it really depends on what you like.

Greek life isn't too huge at NYU, but that is one of the main reasons I love it. The same can't be said for everyone, though.

NYU does not have a strong presence of Greek life like some colleges. Only a small percentage of students participate in it in some way, shape or form. For the most part, we have our own little groups we can have fun with.

what greek life..? yeah they are some fraternities and sororities but most people just sick to themselves and friend groups. the only experience i had with a frat is a couple of parties i've stubble over. people there seem to enjoy themselves but not my type of party. i would try to go to at least one frat party in my freshman year just for the experience.

kind of a joke. no one really joins them.

Not a huge part of campus life, but it does exist and my friends that are in it really enjoy it, even though it's limited.

So I know NYU's Greek life will never compare to what it is down south, but I promise you it definitely exists. The way you rush at NYU slightly different from other colleges, but actually puts less pressure on you to get references and other stressful things. I actually like the way the Greek life works at NYU because it allows you to be involved without killing yourself to get in.

It's not a huge deal here. I honestly don't know the name of most of the sororities/fraternities on campus. I only know a couple because I was going to rush for one but then pulled out at the last minute. They seem nice, but it just wasn't for me. However, it seems like the girls and guys who do go for it end up loving it. It's a nice thing to do if you're into it, but overall, I wouldn't say most NYU students care very much.

No greek life.

Never heard of any.

Tons of Greek
