Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

When you eat off campus, you’re guaranteed to find something that can satisfy you. Main Street offers many different kinds of food, and driving a little ways off campus can satisfy all the rest of your food needs. Should you be unable to find a pre-made meal to fill all your desires, there is always the grocery store. Pathmark, in particular, puts effort into catering to some of the needs of foreign and health conscious students. There is a wide variety of different foods there to satisfy everyone.

While the options are endless, the quality may not always be the best. There is certainly not anything near gourmet food available unless you can cook it yourself. Seafood is a little hard to find and is rarely prepared well when found. Students also find it hard to eat healthfully from their off-campus dining choices without being overly repetitive unless they become a savvy chef. Newark has its downfalls in quality, but it definitely makes up for it with its quantity.

Lots of Off Campus Dining

Main street goes right through campus and has a lot of variety. A lot of places deliver if you don't want to walk down main street. Lots of places are open or deliver pretty late and are really convenient

Main Street Food

There is a lot of variety of food to choose from off campus. Many of the favorites are Sliders on Main Street, D.P. Dough, and No. 1 chinese food. The latter two deliver and are open late which is very convenient for students trying to study/cram for an exam. Also the actual restaurants on Main Street are very good. They are nicer-quality, sit-down restaurants, but still affordable.

Variety of Options

Main street is packed with options to satisfy any students needs. Ranging from italian to indian to Japanese, Newark offers a variety of cuisine. Also since the school is located so close to Wilmington, Philly and Baltimore a student can venture to some of these cities to expand their food options even further.
