University of Kansas Campus Life

Mrs. E's, the main dining hall never let me down. The variety of food served there is staggering; there's always at least one dish that I enjoyed. Every now and then prime rib, steak, or other entrees were served. Mrs. E's,situated on top of Daisy Hill, also offers a great view over the campus. There are also many excellent restaurants on Jayhawk Boulevard that are included on most meal plans.

In the Scholarship Hall, there is one person, called The Food Board Manager, who works for Student Housing and buys the food that the hall consumes. Lunch and dinner is made by the students. Also, you can requests foods for The Food Board Manager to buy at the store. Unlike the dorms, if you live in a Scholarship Hall, then you can eat whenever you would like. In the dorms, you can only eat at certain times.

Mrs. E's, the Underground, and the Union all serve fantastic food. Yes, it is cafeteria food, but it's not too shabby for cafeteria food.

There are great places to eat here in Lawrence! In each union here on campus contains either buffets, restaurants, small markets, or panda express.

Mrs. E's is pretty good food and pretty consistently. Lot's of fresh fruit. It is however $350 a month on just food, whereas the average American spends $200 a month on groceries, and the frugal individual can easily get by on $100.

It sometimes gets repetitive at Mrs. E's. I would advise bringing a fridge, a microwave, tupperware (for when there's good stuff at E's) and snacks.

The food here is such a great option for a vegetarian like myself.

The Underground is KU's main on-campus place to eat and it features a variety of options though many are chains. Would be nice to see a bigger emphasis on healthy eating options or more unique selection.

The dorm food in Mrs E's is decent depending on what you find is tasteful, which can be from 'Wow this is great!' to 'Oh, why did I think this looked edible?' You've been warned.

The dining halls and restaurants on campus are great. KU is proud to have the ONLY Chic-Fil-A in Douglas County, you can literally never go hungry here.

Greek life is definitely present at KU, but it's not a necessity to belong to a fraternity or sorority.

Greek Life is a great option for a lot of students.It provides a solid group of friends that share the same beliefs and a welcoming living environment. And you don't have to join a sorority that just lives in one of the houses. There are engineering sororities, and fraternities and band sororities and fraternities.

We have a pretty bad problem with rape culture in Greek life. Like, usually a couple pretty bad rape cases a year. However, that is not necessarily unique to the KU campus, as 1 in 4 women have or will be, and 90% involve alcohol. We've got a pretty great party scene though!

I think this college has excellent greek life. I just wish there was housing for the diverse sororities and fraternities. I understand that this request involves money, but not a lot of people know about greek life, so if they knew the benefits I am sure they could help?

Greek life is great on campus. All councils that exist on other campuses are here at the university

Being in Greek Life totally changed my college experience for the better. Even if you don't think Greek Life is for you, at least go through recruitment. You'll never know if it's right for you unless you give it a shot!

Is very involved with campus life and tries to allow everyone, greek and non-greek, to participate in events.

The Greek life is really involved on campus and has a great presence.

If you are even just considering, I would try to rush just to help you with the decision.

Big on campus. The houses are very nice and the people are very nice. If you want social and professional benefits to come from your college career, join greek life. Be sure you don't put your education on the back burner though...
