17 Grand Canyon University Eateries, Ranked

The best and the worst.

17 Grand Canyon University Eateries, Ranked
GCU Hotel

The school year is in full swing in beautiful Lope Country and the town is painted purple! With all of our lopes safely back on campus, it's time to get down to business.

By business, I should be talking about studying, but I am, in fact, talking about eating. Studying and going to class is fine, but none of this would be possible without the proper nutrition. I'm sure my fellow lopes would agree.

This is why I've ranked all the eateries on campus so you will know where to go when you need breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a tasty snack! There are many places to go but here is my ultimate list.

17. Urban Center Cafe

This place is kind of weird. It does have more "home cooked" food options, but I am not a fan. Everything looks kind of mushy and strange. Sorry Urban, you come in last.

16. Panda Express

I didn't want to rank Panda so low. Really. I love Chinese food and I think Panda tastes absolutely delicious, but it is not easy on the stomach. Panda makes most people I know sick to their stomachs and for that, they rank pretty low.

15. Auntie Anne's

Once again. Delicious. I personally love Auntie Annes, but I never ever see anyone go there. It is always empty and so on behalf of the lopes, I rank these pretzels low.

14. Taco Thunder (The Taco Cart)

These tacos aren't bad, but once again, everyone I talk to claims these tacos make them sick. I've only had them a few times and thought they were pretty good, but not great.

13. Market Bistro

I was really excited about this place. Unfortunately, it was kind of disappointing. The sandwiches were alright, but not fantastic and I am not really a fan of boba (sorry everyone!).

12. GCBC

I want to love GCBC, and I do love the atmosphere, but the coffee just isn't that great. I go there to sit and study, but the coffee is subpar.

11. Subway

Subway is good. Just good. The line can be insane, especially after chapel and the service is sometimes a little slow. Sorry Subway.

10. Einstein's

Here's where you get better coffee. Bagels are good. Coffee is good. I wouldn't sit there to study or anything, but it's alright.

9. Canyon 49

Canyon 49 is really awesome, but it's off campus and it's expensive. If it was on campus and cheaper, it would be higher on this list.

8. Lean Canteen

Lean Canteen has amazing healthy food options, but it's a little too out of the way for my liking. I always forget about it and never feel up to walking all the way to the Arena to eat.

7. The Habit

Maybe this should be ranked higher, because it is amazing! The fries are especially good.

6. Slices

Last year I wouldn't have ranked Slices this high, but this year is different. This year they have personal pizzas that you can customize yourself and it is fantastic. Yay Slices!

5. Zoyo

Maybe they don't have complete meals, but Zoyo is a great snack or dessert. Delicious hands down.

4. Fresh Fusion

I love Fresh Fusion because it is healthy and delicious. It's not always fast, but the wait is kind of worth it.

3. Jamba Juice

Jamba Juice is my go to place. Their smoothie bowls are amazing and they are always delicious.

2. Qdoba

Qdoba never fails. Burritos, tacos, bowls, and chips are all good all the time. Always go to Qdoba.

1. Chick-fil-a

Number one in all lopes hearts is Chick-fil-a. Chick-fil-a always hits the spot and makes us feel warm and fuzzy. We love you Chick-fil-a, even if you are closed on Sunday.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

161090

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
