Campustown has constantly increased the number of chain restaurants to accompany eateries unique to the area. Before I arrived on campus, there was no Chipotle, Noodles or Potbelly. Now, all three are within a block of each other. If you have a car, a bike or sturdy legs, you can find plenty of restaurants that you’ve heard of off campus too.

Parents and relatives are always looking for good gift ideas to send the child they miss so much. They may be hesitant to just send ten bucks in the mail, however, they (probably) know you like food. A gift card to Chipotle or Subway always comes in handy.

So do some research and find out what restaurants you enjoy that are available in Champaign or Urbana. A free meal may depend on it.
