The Colleges That Love Late-Night Food The Most

Whether it’s a midnight study break or post-party binge, late-night snacking is a regular part of the college experience.

But there are some colleges where students are more inclined to order late-night delivery than others.

GrubHub recently released a ranking of the college campuses with the highest percentage of food orders placed between 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. locally, and big campus schools led the pack. The online food-ordering company also shared with Business Insider the highest-rated restaurants that are open for business on the top 5 campuses during the “late night window.”
