New York University Campus Life

Dining halls at NYU are pretty good overall. They have ones that have chains within them like chick-a-fillet, and jamba juice, and ones that simply serve food made then and there. I like to keep a balance between both types of dining halls as you won't find salads and "home-made" style food in the first type.

While I personally do not love the food, NYU provides many good options for students. They are very conscious of various dietary restrictions, so all students are able to find things to eat. Brunch at Palladium is a favorite of may students.

All freshman have to get a meal plan, which is a bit annoying, but the food on campus is actually pretty good. Additionally, The surrounding New York location is FULL of great places to eat. You wont be hungry.

So in Brooklyn we only have one dining hall and its good but it gets boring sometimes. At the Manhattan campus there are more options and more dining halls to choose from so it's a little nicer; sometimes we go to Manhattan to eat. But there is nothing better than 10 for $5 dumplings around the corner.

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.

Yes, greek life at NYU isn't huge, but there is definitely a Greek community for those who want to get involved. Personally I'm not involved in Greek life but have met a lot of people who are and many more that are interested to join. I think this is a good thing in a way because people in Greeek life end up not only hanging out amongst each other but finding many different groups to circulate in.

Greek life does not have a large presence in NYU, which I find extremely appealing. One of the things that drew me to NYU was its lack of Greek Life. For students who want it it's there, but it's not in your face

It's very small but it is still there. Greek organizations come together and have a lot of fun.

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.
