Greek life is big on campus.

Omaha’s not a bad town to go to college in, but it's not a "college town" per se. Most social options are accessible more by car than foot (though there’s a lot more by foot now – the Slowdown dance/music club, Filmstreams independent theatre, etc. - than there was 10 years ago). Creighton’s very reputable Division-1 basketball team attracts the 13th largest home crowd in the nation at the Qwest Center on the east side of Creighton’s campus. Downtown Omaha, to Creighton’s south and east, is safe and full of stuff to do. The Holland Center (symphony, “classy” music), and the Orpheum Theatre (traveling Broadway shows, ballet) both offer very cheap student tickets. The Old Market has dozens of restaurants, bars, and shops, and is a very popular CU scene. Most CU students do their shopping at the Target at 72nd and Dodge, which emphasizes how handy having a car (or a friend with one) is in Omaha. There is a strong Greek community on campus, but it's definitely more low-key than at a state school, and the Greeks and really nice and inclusive to we non-Greeks as well. Quite a bit of partying seems to go down on the weekends (mostly in connection with the Greeks), but they seem to know how to keep a healthy balance.
