<p>Hanami and Mosaic Cafe must have essentially 100% student clientele (at least, that’s all I ever see in there). It is closer to the engineering buildings on campus, as well as several popular student apartment complexes (The View, Parkside, etc.) Mosaic Cafe often has student performers which would be kinda neat if you caught one.</p>
<p>But in terms of the area where “students hang out” as opposed to where they just eat a lot, well, downtown is definitely your best bet since that is where all the bars are ahah - that is closer to South Campus/the chapel. Downtown is where the plaza with CVS is (Jason’s Deli, Noodles, etc.) and where Kiyoko’s and Chicken Rico and Bentleys are. Yami Yami and Yogi Berry are also in the same area…Yogi Berry is closer to campus by the Chevy Chase bank, Yami Yami is by the Book Exchange/Book Holder’s. Marathon Deli is right across from campus, in fact, running along the side of the building that houses Yogi Berry (Yogi Berry is parallel to route 1 and Marathon Deli will be perpendicular).</p>
<p>Berwyn Cafe attracts more diverse clientele as it is not walking distance from campus, but a lot of students definitely hang out there because it’s, well, cool and alternative, I dunno.</p>
<p>Franklin’s is on your left driving away from campus, and the landmark is a big blue sign with a pinkish red target on it and “Franklin’s” written in yellow. See this picture:[Franklin’s</a> Restaurant, Brewery & General Store](<a href=“http://www.franklinsbrewery.com/]Franklin’s”>http://www.franklinsbrewery.com/). I also spot it by the big parking lot like somebodynew said, although if you’ve never been there you might not immediately recognize the lot as such (it’s not perfectly flat and Stepford-like, like a Giant parking lot is :P). Students go there with their parents or on special trips, but it’s definitely not walking distance!</p>
<p>But if you’re into the diner/all American/anything you can get/breakfast all day type thing there’s Plato’s. Many students walk there from downtown but it is not in the “thick of things”. It’s by the Quality Inn/across from Zips/where Route 1/Guilford intersect. Past the Applebees. </p>
<p>Yeah there’s LOTS of food D:</p>
