    There are plenty of choices from the 8 dining halls to the offerings in the Student Union. There is always something to eat especially when everyone with a meal plan has unlimited swipes into any dining hall.

    So much variety I don't know where to begin! Though food does get boring -- I eat it everyday, every meal mind you, it has to be one of the better dining colleges, especially with the new dining hall which serves brick oven pizza daily!

    Great! The meal plans are so much better than other schools. Unlimited diningn hall access, points, and flex passes. Very nice.

    On-campus students must have meal plans. These meal plans are very much affordable and worth it! With 7 dining halls multiple cafes and grab and go (subs/wrap) spots UConn has solved on-campus hunger! Students are given unlimited swipes to dining halls, points to use in cafes and restaurants, and even flex passes to bring in guests to our dining halls. The best part is that the food is delicious, and very friendly to allergenic, vegan, and organic specialties.

    South and North are really good. Avoid Buckley and Putnam.

    We are in a rather rural area so there aren't many places near by to eat if you don't have a car but the dining halls are not bad.

    There are many sororities and fraternities on campus, I cannot possibly write down all of them. Join the right one for you, and I assure you it will be a great experience.

    Greek life is very big at UConn, but it isn't the most important thing. Greek life here offers a family oriented college life and is very social and popular. But it isn't to say that if you aren't in Greek life you wont meet anyone or do anything fun. Most students are not in Greek life and still have amazing experiences here.

    If you're into that, there are a huge variety of options from the generic sorority and fraternity life to honors and community serve organizations.

    It may seem like everyone at UCONN is a part of Greek Life which might pressure you to join, but don't join just for friends. Many sororities and fraternities take up a LOT of your time and leave little time for things like studying and sleeping. Though they can be a lot of fun, rushing should be done second semester of freshman year so that the transition to college can be the entire focus of first semester. My friend rushed first semester and said she was so busy she wish she waited till this semester.

    Greek life on campus is not what I expected. As a member of Greek life, I was hesitant on the morals and customs. However, I have found Greek life to be one of the most positive aspects of my life on campus. Greek life has provided me the necessary balance between academics and activity through multiple philanthropy events.

    Again there are also a great number of different Greek Lifes. In the beginning of the fall semester, there is usually a Greek picnic where you can go out and see all the different types of Greek lifes that Uconn offers.
