University of Washington-Seattle Campus Campus Life

I've heard it's incredible!

The HUB, dorm food, and the Ave all offer any type of cuisine you may desire. There are tons of choices!

There is a wide variety of food everywhere - on (food trucks, the HUB, cafes) and off campus (U District/The Ave)! From sushi, teriyaki, pizza, Thai and more, there is an endless possibility for delicious food.

The Asian food here sucks and usually its a gamble when ordering special foods of the day. However food is decent at Cultivate (west campus) and the decent foods are the plain typical chicken strips, fries, pizza,etc. Also having a dining account is VERY convenient.

The food isn't bad until you eat repetitively eat it everyday, multiple times a day. I could only take so many smoked salmon bagels until I spit it back out. Lander has delicious french fries, though they have caused my skin to breakout. But, I suppose any greasy food will do that.

.Seattle has lots of yummy places but I'm not sure about the college itself.

The food is great at first, but it can get fairly complacent. There are a lot of really good restaurants nearby campus in order to create a better variety.

The food is decent (mostly), but insanely overpriced. I'd suggest getting a very low dining plan and supplementing with trips to QFC and Safeway in University Village or Trader Joe's and Fred Meyer, which can be reached easily by bus. Your food will probably be healthier, too.

School food, as always, is not the best but not too bad. It's edible and some are actually quite decent. The price is a bit high for poor students like me. Expect to pay around $7-10 dollars per meal.

UW Housing and Food Services (HFS) provides fairly stellar resources for food, using a debit-format food card (called HuskyCard) to use at on-campus eateries. There are a large number of places to use your HuskyCard. Almost every department has a cafe nearby, offering tasty coffees, packaged snacks, and sandwiches; and each dorm has a dining hall nearby. The UW is well known for it's easy access to off-campus eateries, and it's top-notch waste system, offering compost and recycling options.

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.

The University of Washington has a very large Greek system, with over 30 fraternities and 18 sororities. Every single person I know in the Greek system loves Greek life. People in the Greek system are typically very outgoing and each house holds different social gatherings for people to get to know each other.

There is a big Greek system at the UW, though it isn't stifling. On Mondays you can see groups of fraternity brothers walking in formal wear from class to class. It seems to be a good supportive system for students.
