College students live a life on the go, both on and off-campus. From classes to extracurricular activities, making time for a meal, let alone three meals a day. Students need an app that can keep up with their active lifestyle. 

DoorDash is here to the rescue stock up on last-minute school supplies, study snacks, and more with DashPass for Students, a new membership plan for college students. For just $4.99 a month or an annual payment of $48 a year, this pass unlocks the best local cuisine and convenience essentials both on and off-campus.  This wallet-friendly deal costs half the price of the standard DashPass membership; students can order on-demand from thousands of eligible restaurants, convenience and grocery stores, and retailers on DoorDash.

Also, enjoy Members-only promos and exclusive menu items. To celebrate the launch of Buffalo Wild Wings’ new Doritos Flamin’ Hot Nacho Wings will be available for DashPass members.

Ordering food on demand for college students is expected. According to a national consumer survey that polled 500 U.S. college students on their eating behavior during the school term and their usage of third-party delivery platform apps***. Over 70% of college students order food from a third-party delivery platform app in a typical week, and on average, they order four times a week.

The survey also revealed that 65% of students order late-night food between 9-10 pm 19% order after 11 pm.  The late-night go-to? Pizza is the most popular late-night meal 69% prefer a late-night slice, following burgers and wings. 

DoorDash launched a multiplatform marketing campaign to celebrate DashPass for Students membership titled “So Worth It ” to celebrate this new venture.” This campaign will span digital, social, and on-campus activations. To capture this, the commercials were shot entirely by student director UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television graduate student Julie Piscina.
