Close to Campus, College Budget Friendly

Ocregister

1. Marty's

Marty’s in a cute home-towny bar that’s downtown. For $7.99 you get a steak, salad, and side. The drinks are also cheap, which is a huge bonus.

If you’re like me, and don’t love steak, their Reuben’s are the bessssst. Fried pickles, and fries there are on my fav’s list if you’re only looking for a study break snack.

2. Freddy's

This one probably isn’t your best option if you don’t have a car here, since it’s a 5 minute drive from north campus, but Freddy’s is the Mount Pleasant home-town version of an Applebee’s.

They have killer burgers, turkey Rueben’s (I’m sure you can tell by now what my favorite food are), and sandwiches.

Freddy’s servers are super quick, and always friendly. Their fried mushrooms & fried pickles are favorites in our apartment.

Bonus: Carryout is available.

3. Shin's

If you go to CMU and haven’t been to Shin’s we cant be friends. Shin’s is authentic Korean food, and they have a great sized menu’s. Located across from insomnia cookies, they’re definitely close to campus.

Carryout is available, but I totally recommend taking the time to go in. Their workers are super friendly, and if you’ve never tried Korean food before, they’ll help you decide on something you’ll love.

4. Dog Central

Dog Central has a hotdog for literally everyone. Don’t like hot dogs? They’ll give you a bun and toppings. Mac and cheese, BBQ, Chicago dogs, chili dogs, PB dogs? Yup, just go try it for yourself.

Pro Tip: $5 for a drink, whatever dog you want, and a heap of fries on Tuesdays.

Bonus: You can carryout their Tuesday night deal, and we do it pretty often in our apartment, since we all love it.

5. The Diner

If you’ve ever tried to eat at the IHOP here you know you’re battling casino go-ers, townies, and literally every freshman who has a car.

It gets better than IHOP my friends. Pancakes, Hash browns, Waffles, Eggs, Bacon.. and it taste’s better than what I can make (which isn’t saying much).

My favorite part about the Diner is they always treat you like you’re their most important customer. They’re always busy, but its totally worth the 5 minute wait to get a table. It’s 100 times better than fast-food breakfast, and you’ll be in and out in under an hour.

Plus, who doesn’t love a homemade tasting breakfast, right before finals?

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

While being home for break this week and picking up hours at work, I remember what it is like to in fast food. Although there are many aspects to the job, the customers are always number one priority. Anyone who works in fast food knows that you come across these types of customers AT LEAST once a day:
