Where to Eat when visiting colleges

The College Road Trip Gourmet Guide

Posted on Thu, 09/27/2012 - 09:51

If you're headed out this fall to visit college campuses, make sure you check out our Gourmet Guide. We've got recommendations for where to dine -- fine restaurants to food trucks. We've asked admission staff, alumni and current students for their best bets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. From pancakes in Nashville and pies in Pasadena to Belgian bistros in Bryn Mawr and ice cream in Ithaca -- we've got you covered. Organized state-by-state and by campus, the guide will help you find the perfect cup of coffee, vegan sandwich or best bagel so you can relax and recharge before the next stop at the next campus.

Also, don't forget to check back in with the Guide -- soon to come are recommendations for Duke University in North Carolina, Creighton University in Nebraska, University of Virginia, and Purchase College in New York.

Purdue University joins the Gourmet Guide

Purdue University of West Lafayette, Indiana, joins the Gourmet Guide! We wish we were on a college road trip this summer so we could stop in at Bruno's for the "Drew Brees" pizza or grab a burger at the deceptively named Triple XXX, which has been featured in USA Today Travel as one of the “51 great burger joints across the USA," as well as the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive Ins, & Dives.” If you're visiting the Purdue campus, check out the recommendations from Jacqueline F. Hills, Senior Assistant Director of Communications at the Office of Enrollment Management, and her staff, here.
