Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The off-campus dining options in the surrounding Claremont area are numerous and diverse. Not only are there places to get a quick bite to eat, but there are also restaurants for all shapes and sizes: formal, casual, spicy, or just a good old-fashioned sandwich. "The Village" offers a wide array of eateries with dishes ranging from Thai food to Spanish to Mediterranean. If you come to Pitzer, you'll be able to taste dishes from around the world, and you only have to walk a few blocks to try them!

Village dining prices can be steep, but there are many cheaper options. As a college student looking to spend frugally, you can sleep easier knowing that there are places that won't break your bank account. Student favorites include Bua Thai Cuisine, Viva Madrid, and Pizza 'n' Such, just to name a few. If you do decide to splurge in The Village, you can be sure that you'll get a bang for your buck. If you have a car and can venture outside of The Village, you'll find even more exciting restaurants and local cuisines to try. There is definitely no lack of delicious food in the area, so make sure you come hungry!

No Car? Better Not Have Fancy Taste Buds.

A lot of kids order Dominos or go to the 24 hour Santana's Restaurant nearby, but if you are impressing a girl or taking your folks to dinner, then you're best off driving 40 minutes to Los Angeles and eat some of the best food in the country. Middle ground? Yes. Buca Di Beppo is fantastic and will feed you more than your money's worth.

Good Enough!

There's an awesome japanese delivery place literally up the street from the freshman dorms, and a starbucks too! There's also the most amazing frozen yogurt place, that's an average of a ten-fifteen minute walk from the dorms, 21 Choices. Then there's the village, which is either a, 30 minute walk or a 5-10 minute bike ride from the dorms, which has any type of food you could want. If you are intent on finding a type of food or just have a car, you'll be fine.

Off Campus Food

The off campus food is pretty good. The only thing is the discount is like 10% sooo...its basically the California state tax. There also aren't very many delivery places, so East coasters used to eating delivery Chinese food will have to settle for Mix Bowl.
