California University of Pennsylvania Campus Life

The food here is good there nothing to complain about as well as dining

The food is average, its not great but its not awful. Typical college food. There are choices on campus, but not many. There isn't much in the town off campus either. Its Lagerheads, spuds, campy's, subway, or chinese. There is a small gas station in town as well. anything else you'd have to drive or catch a bus to.

The quality of food is not the best. Although, the school has a variety of different styles of food to apply to everyone's tastes. Also, it has numerous amounts of venues for students to eat. Some types of dining hall food include salads, pizza, pasta, quesadillas, and wraps.

Food and dining is lacking a bit. This can be split into two parts mostly: on-campus dining and off-campus dining. On-campus dining is convenient because while living on campus you're required to have a meal plan, only so many meals per week with an additional 200$ to spend at on-campus dining options. There are 6 options to choose from for on-campus dining, the school cafeteria, also called the Goldrush, and other options basically. People consider the Goldrush's food to not be the best, but it does have a different selection of main dinner foods each day. The other options all have their own little variety, varying from a pizza place to a convenience store with quesadillas, but these variety's change very little from day to day. Most places do have a special that changes every week, but even then, most people will get bored of eating the same things week after week. That leads to off-campus dining where the options in the immediate vicinity are mostly Dairy Queen, Subway, a place called Spud's with burgers and the such, and Campy's which is a pizza place. As such, options that don't involve cooking for yourself or driving somewhere will most likely seem very limiting over time.

Also like any college, the food here is decent. No type of food is going to be like mom's cooking. Be prepared to buy food from other places off campus.

There are numerous places to eat at on campus. There is even a buffet place inside the the Natali Student Center called the Gold Rush. Or, you could be like me and order the same dinner of chicken fingers everyday.

The Gold Rush which is like a restaurant is hit and miss, but the cafeteria offers made to order salads, wraps, burritos, burgers, and more. There is a pizza place, a coffee and smoothie store, and a quesadilla and sandwich store that has other snack items. Right outside of campus in town there is a Subway, Chinese restaurant, Madre's Cocina, and a Dairy Queen as well as a couple pizza places.

I take online course this is not applicable

It's typical college food. It's not terribly awful though.

I don't know much on Greek life, but I do know that it is very popular here. The frats throw themed parties all the time, and you always see the greek shirts and jackets on campus. its almost impossible to walk anywhere without seeing a greek.

I personally chose not to rush, but I have a few friends who did and they love it. The first thing most people think of when they hear sorority or fraternity is the huge parties, but here the greeks are really into community outreach and academic standards. Most, if not all, have a GPA requirement and community hour requirements. Plus, you get a support group that becomes your family here at school and for life.

Our Greeks are very involved in campus life and activities. They dedicate a lot of time to community service activities, help out on campus, and schedule fun events for the whole campus. They're great!

There are 6 sororities and 8 fraternities. Between them both, there are about 300 people. I currently am in the organization Sigma Tau Gamma. Through the process, it has made me more production and professional. It's provided me with opportunities to network and to excel in ways that I never even considered. Greek life here is definitely a big thing and not something that any prospective student should rule out.

CalU hosts an active greek community.

We have multiple social fraternities and sororities on campus. We also have academic and honorary fraternities and sororities.

There are a variety of fraternity and sororities on and off campus. They seem like nice people.

Not present on campus. Not really appreciated unless you join.

While I do not associate with Greek Life, I know plenty of Brothers and Sisters. Greek Life is fun and fulfilling and provides an instant sense of community. However, in the Graphic Design Major, we are usually too busy to have time to actually pledge to a Greek Society. I think there are less than ten Graphic Design Majors that are also in a Fraternity/Sorority, but that is just because our program is so intensive and comprehensive. Greek Life is encouraged at CalU through organization fairs and Greek Week.

Greek life is exciting for freshman to see and experience. Their are plenty of fraternities or sororities to choose from
