How GW is Reacting to the New Chick-fil-A on Campus: Tweet Edition

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at GWU chapter.

Everyone knows J Street is gone FOREVER and that our new ‘dining hall’ has been put in our new ‘superdorm’ District House. GW recently released the names of the new tenants of District House’s dining hall and one specific tenant has been as high profile on the GW scene as Kylie Jenner and Tyga’s breakup: Chick-fil-A.

But instead of getting lengthy paragraphs of opinion, I decided to put a little twist on my interviews: GW had to react in 140 characters or less – tweet-style. Here’s what some of GW had to say.

One person was excited about the new dining hall in general, as expected:

“I am excited to be living in District House next year, and to know that there will be some really great food options right below me just sweetens the deal.” -Matt Noel

Someone had a particularly interesting approach to the opening:

“Can’t wait to see every GW kid in line at Chick-fil-A briefly contemplate their liberalism, rationalize it, then say f–k it and eat it anyway.” -Owen Evans

And someone else basically reserved a spot in the line:

“Expect to see me in that line at least five times a week. They should know my order by the third week.” -Thomas de Lima

Someone else was already foreshadowing the personal effects of having a Chick-fil-A on campus:

“My hometown does not have Chick-fil-A, so I’m very excited to eat it here even if it means I’m going to gain thirty pounds as a result.” -Caitlin McMahon

A particular person was feeling more relief than anything:

“Finally! The long lines for the truck will be long lines for the store.” -Sophia Morong

 Someone had some expectations for Chick-fil-A to fulfil:

“If the Chick-fil-A opening in District House doesn’t serve breakfast, I’m suing and starting a strongly worded petition.” -Anoosheh Shaikh

Another seems to already have separation anxiety with her dorm:

“Ahh, just another thing to make me want to get out of class and back to my dorm (District House) even more.” -Katelin Shen

Someone else was surprisingly not as excited as others:

“Ideologically, not too thrilled, but I hear people like the chicken so for them, that’s dope I guess.” -Anonymous

And to top it all off, someone else was ecstatic about the opening, to say the least:

“I AM NO LONGER LIVING IN DISTRICT, THE CHICK-FIL-A INSIDE DISTRICT IS MY NEW PERMANENT ADDRESS!!” -Noah Thomas
