I've heard the food in general is very eclectic and varied, and I have also heard they have pretty good options as far as vegetarianism/veganism goes.

2 of the 3 dining halls on campus have specific vegetarian sections in addition to their regular selection of food, which is quite varied anyways. Most of the restaurants on campus (like Boloco, Au Bon Pain, Qdoba, Rebecca's, the West End, etc.) have quite a good selection of vegetarian foods. If you look immediately off campus, there's a lot of Asian food and pizza places (obviously vegetarian), and if you delve further into the city you'll find a plethora of vegetarian restaurants. If you have an apartment with a kitchen, you can find almost any vegetarian ingredients at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's (both within walking distance of the campus) and at Northeastern's own farmer's market (on campus every Wednesday).

I would take a look at the NU Dining site to find more information, but here's a quick link to some gluten-free options available in the dining halls: http://www.nudining.com/menus/gluten-free-options

The food on campus is pretty good. There are choices for the health-conscious, and kosher dining plans are available at no extra charge. With three dining halls, students can mix up their meals so they don’t get bored. As a freshman, you are required to have a meal plan if you’re living in the residence halls, and since you won’t have a kitchen your freshman year, you’ll be spending a lot of time in the "D-hall," as it’s commonly known. It’s fun to go with a group of friends and get waffles or omelets for brunch or a grilled chicken sandwich and fries for lunch. Some people complain about the food, but they’d be hard-pressed to find a college campus with much better options. One of the recent additions is the Xhibition Kitchen located in Stetson West, which periodically holds food demonstrations. The newest cafeteria in Parcel 18 also features great choices, such as freshly made sushi, all-day breakfast, and brick-oven pizza.

Some students swear by the dining halls so much that they’ll even spend much of the day there, chatting with friends, doing homework, and, of course, eating! There are always the staples such as pizza, burgers, sandwiches, pasta, and salad, but tacos and Mexican food are often served, too, in addition to roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy.
