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 good news is that the first week of school has gone by and most of the early stressors are gone… except for one!

The biggest stressor of all will be the question you ask all year long, “What am I going to eat today?” The Caf is an obvious choice but, believe it or not, it can get a little stale. For those who are looking for other options besides the cafeteria and dorm-room ramen, keep reading.

Returning students may know some of these already, but regardless, a reminder is always helpful.

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

Rooster’s 10% off any day of the week. If chicken doesn’t sound good but pizza does, then there are a few options where students can get discounts as well.

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 get one— of any size. Also, a healthier option would be The Wooden Straw offers a variety of healthier shakes at $1.00 off a shake any day of the week for students.

Finally, for those who are willing to stay up until 2.a.m, GAC occasionally offers a dozen free donut holes at Donut Express (more commonly known as Hong’s Donuts).

Wherever you choose to indulge, take a moment to enjoy the stress-free environment and the discount that goes with it.

Make sure you remember your Student ID when you go to get your discount!

Though a great reference, make sure to bring your own card for the discount to be valid!
