@ Shogoki - I used to live on campus and almost always ended up eating at the campus cafeteria because of the payed meal plan. I thought it was such a waste to pay 'extra' and eat else where outside of campus.
Speaking about food, there are a lot of good restaurants in NY and Philly (good food and inexpensive). There are lots of good pubs and bars in the cities too. Many of them serve free appetizers during happy hour as well
