University of Washington-Seattle Campus Campus Life

There's not much variety. On the west campus, there is the District Market which is a small grocery store and Local Point which is a dining hall. I don't cook so I usually eat at Local Point and they have the same options every day. North campus has The 8, which is another dining hall, they tend to serve bigger portions and have certain amenities west campus doesn't have.

You get used to the food but the DM! is great theres a lot of fresh produce to buy! It's just far if you plan to live on north campus.

The cafeteria area is pretty awesome. There's pizza, subway, gelato, and lots more. Food for all diets.

its in the city so it would probably have alot of options

there are a lot of dining options to choose from, especially in the husky union building (hub), so i would recommend going there for lunch, as it has about five or six different choices for dining. also, the food in the residence halls is reasonably priced and is an all-you-can-eat buffet.

There are vending machines with snack food (chips, pretzels, candy, and sometimes fruit snacks) in almost every building. About a third of buildings have a small cafes, where you can purchase coffee and the same few healthy food options. The HUB has several food options, such as pizza, pasta, diner-style food (like chicken strips and burgers), and a few different Asian food options. -- About a block from UW is a street known as the Ave which has dozens of small shops and restaurants. They vary from cafes to brewpubs to Thai restaurants. Each seats about 30-40 people. By bus, there is access to University Village (with larger restaurants) and downtown Seattle (with more expensive upscale restaurants).

The Local Point is ok. The Hub offers a nice variety, and I haven't really explored the 8 much since I live on West Campus. The District Market offers a decent selection of items if you want to make your own meals.

Food options aren't great on weekends.

A lot of good places to eat

In my opinion, there is a Greek org for everyone. It doesn't have to be mainstream greek, but there are also other options like multicultural greek orgs (ex. UGC - Lambda Phi Epsilon, Chi Sigma Alpha, Omega Delta Phi, etc.), and professional career-oriented/service organizations (Alpha Kappa Psi, Alpha Phi Omega, Delta Sigma Pi).

Nice Greek life. literally, the sororities and frats are nice people.

The Greek system rocks and the brotherhood or sisterhood that occurs is a lifelong opportunity that creates special relationships that are real and strong!

Honestly, Greek life is there, if you want to join, join. If you feel it's not fitting, you can always drop. There's lots of great people in and out of greek life.

There is an extensive thorofare of fraternities, several, upwards of 20.

There is a large greek system at UW Seattle. There are thirty three fraternities and seventeen sororities, and we have been adding chapters each year for the past few years. All freshman new members in a chapter live in starting in September when school starts and both sororities and fraternities can be, and usually are cheeper than living in a dorm and having a dining account. The greek system houses are all located across the street from campus in a four block area, and there are about two thousand people in our system which can attest to its strength and offerings.

The Greek life is awesome here at UW. There are a ton of great people that know how to party and have fun while also balancing out school. Although the Greek life is great, it's very time consuming and you might find it difficult to manage your time but it's very doable.

I'm not part of greek life, so i can't tell you much about it.

I plan to attend RUSH this fall to join a sorority, The Greek System is large and the choice in houses (fraternities or sororities) is a wide range. The sorority girls I have met are extremely nice and get along so well. I have also studied at a few sororities, and also stayed the night. This is a fantastic option to create friends for life and know there is always someone around to spend time with at all hours of the day or night. They form a tight bond that is super cool!

The greek life is active, but it can be really nasty. For awhile there was a greek-gossip website where people in the greek system would write really nasty gossip against each other, but it got shut down. Besides that, frats and sororities have a lot of activities and can be a good place to make friends. From my judgment, you're probably better off in the dorms as you can make just as many friends and you don't have to go to all the mandatory meetings and events.
