Scholarship table
Of all the reasons I have heard for deciding not to attend a particular university, "The restaurant options immediately off-campus didn't light me up" is not one of themLots of universities have literally no off-campus options within walking distance because they are either in the middle of a cornfield or a residential neighborhood.IIRC, Butler has nothing in the immediate area. And when Glow Jr and I went on a campus visit some years ago, the on-campus food was pretty mediocre.
Bring back the IHOP.And the Rocky Rococo.
I don’t know. Now that BK is closed, there’s only Jimmy John’s, qudoba, papa John’s (which, if I recall doesn’t stay open very late), and real chili (which is obviously awesome).Most exits off the highway have more options than that
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Fun fact: the Annex was good for a good solid 6-9 months when it opened in 1994. It has the decor you want in a nostalgic campus haunt. But service & food now is uninhabitable. Real Chili is the only option now. And that’s at best “fast casual”. The campus deserves better. I work on West St. Paul. It’s a food desert. My staff would love more than a Q doba option. I imagine Versiti, Aurora & Courthouse employees would say the same. Talking to BroYo staff, MU did them mo favors. Too bad, that couple bled MU. Hopefully we get a Panera. That’ll fix it.
It’s not Marquette’s job to feed the neighborhood. All colleges and universities have captured the market for students who used to go elsewhere in the evenings and on the weekends. TAMU is right about this. These off campus options are disappearing everywhere. Or have been for awhile.

That's three more than many colleges have and four more than some. And again, many don't have anything like the third ward a short walk away.
Ain’t nobody walkin to the 3rd ward
It’s middle of February, 2am, and you’re at last call at Murphy’s or Caffs. Hey, I got an idea…let’s walk to the third ward to get something to eat. The food options are terrible. It’s ok to admit it
Counter point. Let's get something doordashed.

I prefer Subway in those conditions and that hour.
No one said otherwise. Just pointing out that they are terrible at many universities and in a lot of cases even worse.
