Special Options
- The search for food can be overwhelming, especially when BU does not offer many 24-hour eateries. If vending machine candy bars are not doing it for you, try resources such as campusfoods.com.
While it is not uncommon to hear complaints about the food, most students will agree that BU is pretty hooked-up in that department. There is a huge variety and tons of places to use your meal plan around campus. To get your money’s worth, check out the specialty nights and the smaller eateries on campus. Remember, the meals are not refundable, but most of the plans provide many more meal than you'll actually need. If you do the math, each meal costs about $9, so eat up. Even if you just stop by for an ice cream, you may as well use the meals that you are paying for anyway. The food at BU is conistently ranked one of the best in the country, which means someone’s enjoying it. The presentation is very well done, too, so even if it doesn’t taste right, it looks like it should. Four years of the same food, however, will dull your taste buds.

Varied Options
B
The dining hall food can get tiresome after a month, but there are a lot of other places around campus to get food. |

Tasty AND Healthy!
A
Get a meal plan! There are a whole variety of different places to eat, and there are multiple options for kind of food at each! The best part is that the school of health has to do a senior project and create healthy meals which we then get to test! |

Expensive but Great
A-
The dining plan is fairly expensive, but the food is pretty good. West Campus dining hall is known as the best as there is great variety and the food is always cooked in front of you. My friends from other colleges always rave about the dining hall when they come and visit. |
