The popular Mexican fare restaurant [Chipotle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-outfitters-x-chipotle) has recently increased its fast food deliveries to cover 40 new college campuses just in time for the new school season. This is a smart move on by the brand that is looking to target millennial students craving quick takeout meals.

Students often rely on takeaway food to get through their post-secondary education whether they are too busy studying, they have an extensive social life or their fridge is completely empty. To help make food delivery that much easier, Chipotle is partnering with the [Tapingo delivery app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-door-dash) to make getting Chipotle to your dorm room door that much easier. Students can click and order in a matter of seconds their favorite foods without having to own a car to pick it up. This is ideal for busy on-the-go students that are fans of the Mexican fast food brand.
