From Findlay Commonsâ cuisine to downtown restaurantsâ dishes, many Penn State students resort to certain meals for finals week to stay fueled and focused.
Lucas Balda said he enjoys some of the restaurants downtown, such as American Ale House and Outback Steakhouse.
â[My favorite meal] would most likely be the chicken wings from Outback Steakhouse or the fried chicken sandwich with fries from American Ale House,â Balda (sophomore-finance) said. âSomething about either of those meals make up for any bad day you are having.â
He recommended also trying Five Guys or Taco Bell for something quick but not too âgreasyâ or needlessly expensive.

For many, freshman year of college represents a branching out from sheltered days filled with parents, high school drama and teenage angst. Students often meet new friends, take new and difficult classes, and learn how to adjust to being a fully functioning, independent adult.
During the pandemic, this experience was taken away from many students. They can t attend all classes in person, have a much harder time making friends, are forced to stay at home with their parents and no longer have access to many of the facets of a true freshman year.
This isnât for Penn State freshmen this year â many stayed home during the fall semester and didnât arrive on campus until last week.
