Airbnbs
As our competition is taking place during homecoming weekend, availability may be scarce. We would suggest looking for housing earlier rather than later.
In order to help ameliorate this, we also are offering team housing for this competition! There are many spots open, but housing is not guaranteed, as requests will be fulfilled on a first come-first serve basis.
Please fill out the form linked below to request team housing.
Food
There are many restaurants located within the Indiana Memorial Union as well as minutes away downtown.
Some examples include:
-
Sugar and Spice Bakery (IMU)
-
Lantern (IMU)
-
Quarry Pie Co (IMU)
-
Noodles and Company (Kirkwood)
-
Potbelly (Kirkwood)
-
Dave's hot chicken (Kirkwood)
-
BuffaLouie's (Indiana Avenue)
-
Siam House (4th street)

We specifically recommend the Chipotle located at 420 E Kirkwood Ave, Bloomington, IN 47408, as we will be holding a Dine to Donate at this location during the day of the comp.
