They also serve a large variety of finger licking food from ribs to waffle fries, so if you're feeling like eating in and eating something saucy, call up Wings Over and place an order. 

Boston Donuts
338 Park Ave, Worcester
If you go in there everyday, you'll see that it is definitely a college fan favorite as a line of college students goes out the door. Boston Donuts makes the most delicious and interesting flavors of iced coffee out there, and they switch up their seasonal flavors constantly. Also they have a great selection of muffins, donuts, bagels, and breakfast sandwiches. Plus, you canít beat the price, seeing as you can get a large iced coffee, the size of your head, for about $2.50.

Gold Star Restaurant
68 W Boylston Dr., Worcester
If you are seeking out some Saturday morning hangover food, as most college students are, then Gold Star is the place for you. Set up as a traditional breakfast diner, Gold Star serves the most delicious breakfast food, and their prices are unbelievably cheap. You can walk in with just a ten dollar bill and walk out with a full and content stomach.

Wooberry
141 Highland St., Worcester
Seeking out something to soothe your sweet tooth? Wooberry has a variety of changing flavors and toppings. Wooberry is located in a college friendly area and has a fun, comfortable atmosphere, where prices are reasonably cheap for a heaping bowl of frozen yogurt. The other nice thing about Wooberry is it accepts campus cards from some Worcester area colleges.

Spiritual Haze

If you're really looking to chill out from midterms, this is the place to go. Spiritual Haze is one of few hookah bars located in Worcester. They have a variety of choices and flavors of hookah. Spiritual Haze is decked out with blacklights and neon painted walls and has a great college-friendly atmosphere. Going here also gives you a chance to meet students from other colleges in the area, as it is a college student watering hole.

Jose Murphy's
