Wide Variety and Accessibility: Chapel Hill Dining.

There is a wide variety of off-campus dining options in Chapel Hill. These options include fine dining such as Top of the Hill or the Carolina Inn as well as completely accessible eateries such as Jimmy Johns and B-Skis (a tortilla wrap restaurant). I truly think that Chapel Hill is centered around the University and its students and the dining is structured to fit students on a budget as well as parents visting that want a more sophisticated style of meal. Convenience is the name of the game as well--companies such as Tar Heel Take Out offer delivery services from every restaurant in town. Students are given access to coupon books that offer discounts at the wide range of businesses including Qdoba, Pita Pit and Gumby's Pizza. My recommendations however are the Yogurt Pump (commonly referred to as YoPo) and Sutton's Drug Store--two Chapel Hill staples that can't be beat.

Variety

Chapel Hill offers so many places to eat on Franklin street it truly is an idea place for students to go out on the weekends or just during the week day to get some good food. There are tons of places to eat and at various prices so you don't always have to bust the bank to go out.

Dining Hall

The dining halls are better than some universities but their variety and quality of food often lacks and it isn't uncommon to have to resort to pizza or a sandwich for a meal or just opting to find another alternative for food.
