Introduction
We made this page for new students of Saint
Michael's College in order to share information
about restaurants in the area. First of all, we
surveyed SMC students about restaurants that they
would recommend. The students were willing to help
us.
Then
after the survey, we picked out the three best
restaurants from the results of the survey.
When
we chose these three restaurants, we considered
their location because the restaurants for new
students need to be close to the College and easy
to get to by public transportation.
Then
we visited these restaurants to take a look at the
atmosphere, try their food, and interview with the
managers.
Results
of Servey of Area Restaurants
These are the results of the survey. We asked
34 people at Saint Michael's College, and they
suggested many restaurants. Then we categorized
these restaurants by type of food: American,
Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Ethnic, steak, and
French, and indicated the number of votes for each.
We picked out the three restaurants that received
more than two votes.
Restaurants
with the highest scores and in close proximity to
Saint Michael's College. Therefore, we focused on
Papa Frank's, the Rathskeller, and Sakura where we
can go by public transport. Now, click on this link
