How we counted
For each campus we counted the places to eat within half a mile, in a straight line from the campus. Half a mile is about a 10-minute walk.
- Places to eat — restaurants, fast-food places, cafés and casual eateries in the Overture Maps open places data (release 2026-09-23.1). Chains count the same as independents. Listings marked closed, and low-confidence listings, are left out.
- The campus — the location the U.S. Department of Education lists for each school, moved to the main campus where that point is an office away from it.
- Busiest food street — the street with the most of those places within a mile of campus.
Map data is never complete, and a new place can take a while to appear in it, so read the counts as a fair comparison between campuses rather than an exact census. More on where our data comes from.
