Stanford University Campus Life

One of the most impressive, beautiful college campuses in the world! :)

I've been told the dining food can get boring after a while, but Palo Alto is right around the corner (although that comes with a large cost). There's also places to eat right on campus, such as Coupa Cafe.

They have a great food court with many name-brand restaurants

Stanford has multiple dining halls across campus and Stanford students have access to all of them. Some of these dining halls are very good, while others are not so good. if you don't mind biking to the different dining halls, I would recommend trying a bunch and seeing which you like best. To get really good food your best bet is to eat at restaurants that take meal plan dollars. meal plan dollars is money given to you along with meal swipes (each swipes gets you into the buffet style dining halls). A number of meal plan dollars you get depends on the meal plan you choose. For the first quarter I would recommend getting the 14 meal swipes per week plan that comes with 100 and something dollars in meal plan dollars, and then if you don't like the dining halls I would switch to 10 meal swipes a week so you have more meal plan dollars to spend at restaurants.

It just depends on the dining hall. There are mainly 4 dining halls that freshmen go to, and each have their pros and cons. Overall, the food is alright and they do have vegetarian/vegan options. Their hours aren't too bad either. 2 of the dining halls have late night options so you can satisfy your cravings in the early hours of the morning, too.

they have buffet style meals and soda with soft serve ice cream readily available. watch out for the "freshman fifteen"

The food could be better, but at least we know its healthy!

Wide variety of options.

There is a robust greek life on campus, even though not necessarily supported by the university. The university itself is not pro greek, so if you join an organization, make sure your sorors/fratters have their act together so that there is no reason for the school to kick you out your house or suspend your chapter.

Yes, Greek life and houses too!

Present but not overbearing

Though small in comparison to public Universities, the Greek Life at Stanford is surprisingly much larger than one anticipates. Not only in number of men and women directly involved, but also in their involvement with the entire campus of students. Everything every fraternity puts on, whether it be Saturday night party or otherwise, is all-inclusive (read: not exclusive in the slightest).

Greek life at Stanford is unique. There are three housed sororities and many house fraternities. Greek life has a large social presence on campus.

Not very active apparently but they're their.

A small and eclectic greek life that is not the center of all parties, but is definitely active. If you want to have a greek life experience, it is yours for the taking.
