11 Food Places Radford Needs On Campus

If you go to Radford University, then you know the struggle of trying to find something good to eat on campus. The best thing we have to offer is Chick-fil-a, but not even that is open past midnight on Friday's. As for the other places on campus, the most popular are ABP, Wendy's, and the sushi place that no one knows the name of. Most of us can agree that Dalton's food is nasty, am I right? When you go to other campuses such a Virginia Tech and JMU, they have a plethora of places to eat. Why can't Radford be like that? Sure, we're a small school, but we deserve good food too. On the bright side, we are getting a Moes, but here are eight food places we need to have on campus.


1. Chipotle

I bet you knew that was coming. That's probably one of the number one answers I get when I ask students what they want on campus.

2. Qdoba

If you aren't going to give us Chipotle, at least give us a Qdoba. It's almost the same thing as Chipotle, but it's certainly up there when it comes to taste. If you haven't had it, try it.


3. Cava

Do I need to say more?

4. Tropical Smoothie

VT just got one, why not us?

5. Wawa

Maybe that's a stretch to get on campus, but Wawa is delicious.

6. Five Guys

Have you realized that there are no places that have burgers on campus? Only the West Coast have In-n-Out, so why not get a Five Guys? It's the next best thing.

7. Panera

Okay, we have ABP, but that's really only a knockoff Panera. We want the real thing!

8. Manhattan Bagel

If you've never had this, well then I am truly sorry.


9. Something better than Dalton

Dalton's food is not good. I'm not sure how else to put it. The food tastes like cardboard (no offense).

10. Steak N Shake

This one isn't as well known as the others, but try it and I promise you won't regret it.

11. IHOP

This is more of a sit-down restaurant, but why does it seem like there are no places to get pancakes on or around campus? Now that Brewin Around is gone, I can't get breakfast delivered to my door anymore.

There are so many options, so come on now Radford, don't let us down. Also, can we just get rid of Dalton completely? Also, what's with Dalton to go? Does anyone even go there? The only time I look forward to Dalton is when it' the weekend and they have french toast sticks and biscuits with gravy. Also, I need to give credit to the omelets (shoutout to the person who makes them). Those are so good. Other than that, Radford's dining services suck. As a Radford student, this disappoints me. And yes, I'm getting upset about food. That's when you know it's serious.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
