Millennials are increasing the demand of coffee in the country and an example of that is the opening of Starbucks on Quinnipiac\u2019s Mount Carmel campus.<\/p>\n
White does not think that this event will affect students drastically.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know that it\u2019s really going to do any more caffeine damage if it wasn\u2019t here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Other students, like marketing major Ryan Lawson, have been drinking a larger amount of coffee since the opening of the new Starbucks on campus.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\u201cI drink coffee every day, and sometimes more than once,\u201d said Lawson as he got a Venti sized coffee at Starbucks.<\/p>\n
Although Monday mornings aren\u2019t as busy as expected, Starbucks on campus gets extremely crowded throughout the week.<\/p>\n
\u201cUsually in the mornings and around lunch time or early afternoon is when it is the most crowded,\u201d said one worker.<\/p>\n
Quinnipiac students have always been aware of the huge lines and waiting time at Au Bon Pain, in the first floor of the cafeteria. However, the workers have been seeing a difference.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re definitely less busy since the Starbucks opened, but we still get a lot of students, mostly because of our sandwiches,\u201d said a worker at Au Bon Pain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\nA misconception about coffee is that it gives people the energy they could be lacking of in the moment, however, White thinks this is one of the bigger issues about caffeine abuse.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe real energy you are going to gain is from calories, and a cup of coffee only has about five calories. You can\u2019t just drink coffee and not eat food,\u201d said White.<\/p>\n
The United States spends $40 billion on coffee each year, according to the National Coffee Association, with the average price of an espresso-based drink being $2.45 and the average price of a brewed cup of coffee at $1.38.<\/p>\n
\u201cI probably spend around $50 on coffee each month, maybe a little less,\u201d said Anica Lazetic, psychology major at Quinnipiac.<\/p>\n
Although Starbucks is considered an expensive coffee shop, the fact that Quinnipiac students can use their meal plan money is very helpful.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s mandatory to pay for $200 for meal plan when you\u2019re off campus, and since I\u2019m always cooking at home, I have been spending mostly of my meal plan with coffee at Starbucks,\u201d said Healey.<\/p>\n
Although majority of the students think of coffee in a positive way, White believes there are some measures they need to take.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think most college students need to be eating better, sleeping more and calming down, so [coffee] can work against you if you take too much of it,\u201d said White.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
