SGA Meal deals offer students stressfree food discounts at several locations By BENJAMIN ROBISON Staff Writer
The first few weeks of school can be stressful for everyone, especially for freshman and transfer students. For the freshman, the stress begins long before the first day of school. It starts when they are at home deciding what to bring to college. It continues upon first arriving at Georgetown and as they begin to fill dorm rooms. New faces, new classrooms and new professors can be daunting obstacles to hurdle as well.

The most well-known food deal for Georgetown students is Chick-Fil-A’s free chicken sandwich with a purchase of a meal on Wednesday’s. Other deals include Zaxby’s offer of a free Zappitizer with the purchase of meal on Monday’s, Buffalo Wild Wings 15% off of a meal on Saturday’s and

MOD Pizza offers 15% off all purchases any day of the week, while the new Rolling Oven on Main Street offers 25% off food purchases. If chicken and pizza aren’t on the menu for dinner, McAlister’s Deli offers students 10% off all purchases any day of the week. If the food at the cafeteria is treating you right, but you are tired of the soft-serve ice cream then head to Dairy Queen. The most popular dessert deal is Dairy Queen’s BOGO blizzards. Buy one
