Boston University (BU) Dining & Food

Jacob shares how he keeps a vegan diet while studying in Boston.

Blaze Pizza is not Boston exclusive but it is tasty and very convenient 

BU has amazing food on campus including Blaze, Canes, Chipotle, Thai Dish, Sunset Cantina, Pavement coffeehouse, etc. Unfortunately, none of these places take dining points but students still splurge anyways. Thai Dish doesn't look inviting, but it has amazing food and is right next to west!

The best part of CAS is Einstein Bagels! Einstein is open most days from 7:30 am - 8:00 pm and accepts both dining points and convenience points.

Wanna get a bang for your buck? Start with the 330 meal plan first semester and switch down to the 250 for the second semester. You'll get loads of dining points that can be used at places like Starbucks, Panda, etc.

Let's take a look at the amazing west campus dining hall! I'll show you around and drop a little advice!

Every college student has a different schedule everyday; this is a typical Thursday schedule for me, starting with classes and ending the day with my job. I scheduled my classes so that I had 2 lectures each day; I also prefer to have morning lectures so that I can do other things, like work, in the afternoon and evening.

Sam is a really dedicated pre-med student and one of my first friends here. We met living on the same floor in Warren Towers!

Welcome to the GSU. This is a main hub of BU life. The GSU has the library, a dining center, and study spaces (as well as several administration offices).

BU is known for having some of the best dining hall food. The best dining hall on campus is Marciano Commons which is located on East campus. Most dining halls serve similar foods- here's a look at what you can get at the dining hall on a normal day.

Out of the four dining halls at BU, Fresh Food Co at Marciano Commons (aka Bay State Dining) is by far my favorite one. This is not only because the food is great (the dining halls run on a cycle menu so one week Dining Hall #1 might be serving a meal and the next week Dining Hall #2 is serving the same thing) but I love the layout of this dining hall and the natural light that comes in through the windows.

There's a ton of food places to eat on campus. But beware of Basho Express -- cheap sushi is almost guaranteed to give you food poisoning! There's a ton more food off campus in Allston that I didn't mention, too. Most places don't accept dining points, but a few do, like the both Starbucks locations in GSU & Questrom School of Business and Buick Street Market by StuVi1. And UBurger by Kenmore Square has student deals every day!

Jacob shares a day in his life through his vegan snacks and meals at Boston University. BU does a great job of catering to the needs of any dietary restriction through their dining halls, but there's also a multitude of shops to buy some local and great vegan food.
