Morgan: My Ranking of Boston University’s Dining Halls

By Morgan Oakes

I believe that all dining halls have their own pros and cons, and all are convenient at different times. Freshmen, if you’re trying to decide which dining hall to go to, let this be your guide. 

4. Warren Towers

Warren has its own charm. When I lived in A Tower my freshman year, Warren was my most frequented. But unfortunately, when choosing where to eat, this dining hall is my last pick. I don’t typically go for their eggs, and I often find the layout of the space to be crowded due to many students going after class. In addition to this, the Warren dining hall simply doesn’t have as many options as the others. That being said, the Warren Towers dining hall is in a convenient location, and the sandwich station never disappoints.

3. Marciano

Some people will disagree with me on this, but I find Marciano to be a bit overhyped. Obviously there’s the benefit of this dining hall having two floors, and many options. I love their grill station, and the Concept Kitchen is fantastic. They tend to have fun desserts. The atmosphere is nice. But compared to the others, Marciano falls short because the next two are simply just better.

2. Fenway Campus

The only reason the Fenway dining hall isn’t at the top is because of the distance it takes to get there. It’s the perfect size. It’s perfectly tucked away. The food is always fantastic. It sounds basic, but my favorite thing to eat in Fenway is their grilled cheese (with fries). Then I like to mix in a few of the many condiments they have. Fenway also has the best salad bar out of all four dining halls.

  1. West Campus

I live in 610 Beacon now, but when I return to this dining hall (typically post-fitrec) I almost miss living in Claflin. The pizza is always fantastic. The vibes are always fantastic. The middle of the dining hall (the fishbowl) is my favorite place to sit. Then I like to go to hockey games. West is best!
