An idea to bite into

For my beat, I'm going to have to dig deep to find new, thrifty ways to survive as a college student. I want to be able to offer students more options aside from the occasional bar scene and get them out of eating from on-campus dining halls. I want to give them more choices to shop rather then hiking to the Towsontown mall, only to walk away with empty wallets. As I began thinking about how I would like to narrow the focus for my feature story two thing popped into my mind: food and clothing. Let's be real, college students love to eat and they love to shop. What better way to make my way into reader's hearts then through their stomachs and wardrobe? Some ideas that I have stirred up are:

1. CiCi's Pizza- all you can eat for $5
2. Gabriel Brothers- thrift shop

Students can eat great and dress to impress without spending top dollar.

  1. This is a good idea. Many students will be able to benefit from this.

  2. I think this is a great idea for a feature story. I would think about maybe focusing on food for this feature story and clothing for another. This way you can find a couple more affordable food places and focus on one topic.

  3. I like the one about pizza since Gabriel Brothers is not a local store in Towson. Good job!
