Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The good news is that College Park is filled with a lot of restaurants, fast food joints, and snack shops that line Route 1 and a few mini-shopping centers. There are so many restaurants in College Park that one would think that food is the city’s top income-producing industry. The bad news is that while there are a lot of places to eat off campus, knowing that there are better restaurants a good distance away can make many students’ stomachs ache. However, there are favorites: Chipotle, Five Guys, Marathon Deli, and Noodles & Company.

The food off campus can be awesome, as long as you don’t think about universities in cities like New York, where there are 5,000 restaurants just a train ride away. College Park does have a Subway and a few McDonald’s restaurants, as well as many pizza places; however, if you go home during winter break, watch out for withdrawal symptoms because there really is something special about dining in College Park—even if it entails dining after midnight on a school night.

Quite a Lot

There are quite a few restaurants to choose from around the area. Most of them however are chain restaurants and while that is not necessarily a bad things, sometimes i wish that there were other kinds of restaurants. Considering i would like to go into dietetics and nutrition seeing only fast foods upsets me.

Check Out Krazi Kabob

Healthy, fresh, and wonderful wraps and bowls. Kind of like Chipotle for Indian food. Can be made extra spicy or mild to taste. Only thing is you have to ask a couple times to add additional topics such as onions or corn. Otherwise, absolutely delicious and very filling.
