Purdue University-Main Campus Campus Life

Awesome food and I am super picky!!

There are multiple dining courts all over campus and lots of great restaurants that accept dining dollars so you'll always have a wide variety of food to choose from.

Decent food with selections for vegetarians and vegans.

The food in the Dining courts are better than most everything you find. There's an option to create your own pizza, pasta, and stir-fry. I would say though, to cycle through the dining courts as much as possible before winter starts because the food can become repetitive if you just keep going to one dining court.

Includes much help with creating a food plan for students so that they may get what they need. Purdue also provides help managing the nutritional side of students diets and offers help as to setting up a plan for what to eat.

Ah, the dining courts. The waiting for an hour on chicken tender and make your own mac and cheese night. I, personally, like the food. It's pretty good. Plus if you have the meal plan it's SO convenient. The way it works is like this: You buy a plan (say 13 swipes per week). 3 meals a day, the courts are open 3 times a day for 6 days, closed Sunday (if I remember correctly). So you are basically covered for the whole week. Plus you get to eat and not have to worry about cooking yourself food or buying groceries. Plus if you can't sit down and eat, there are on-the-go options. But, if you don't want to pay for the meal plan (which could be expensive depending on what you get) there are plenty of restaurants to go to or order from. Because delivery is huge on campus, why walk to a place when someone can bring the food to you?

Purdue is ranked 16th in food in the US. The food is great! With 5 differently themed dining halls, restaurants in various places, markets, a food truck, and the food in the union all accessible through the meal plan, there is excellent variety. Meal plans are only available if you live on campus however, and I will definitely miss the dining halls when I head off campus next year.

some dining courts are not clean at all. met some really nice people working at windsor dining court.

Great food. Purdue is nationally ranked in food.

Purdue is also well known for its food. The dining halls here have some of the best food I have ever had.

Plenty of fraternities and sororities to choose from.

I'm no expert on the greek life but what I can tell you is that there are so many houses for each kind of person. There's an engineering sorority, a frat that focuses on business and soccer, a science frat, etc. You'll fit into multiple houses, and the memories and friendships you make there will last a life time. College is what you make it. You don't need to be a part of greek life to make it through, but you can join if you want. That's the beauty of it.

I am not personally involved in Greek life, but I know a bit about it and my girlfriend is. There is about 50 fraternities and 30 sororities. 20% of the school in involved and they are a major presence on campus. Not major enough to where you feel like you are missing out by not being involved, but major enough where you do not feel like an outcast if you are involved.

Greek life is pretty diverse and Greeks are nice around campus. It has a fairly nice Greek houses.

Purdue has the third largest Greek population in the country. So if you like Greek community, fraternities, and sororities Purdue is your place.

I am not involved in Greek life, but many of my friends are and they enjoy it. They have a great support system and friends they will have for years after graduation. I cannot say much here, but if it is something you are interested in, I would definitely check it out or at least try it.

Greek life is huge at Purdue. It's worth giving it a shot, even if you think it's not for you.

Huge, as I have stated in all of my other things. Not very diverse.

I am not a part of greek life, but it is very big here, I know many girls who are involved and they love it.

Greek life is HUGE at Purdue. I highly recommend it. If you aren't in a house, you really don't go out. My roommate has maybe gone out 5 times within a semester. I usually go out 5 times in 2-3 weeks!
