However, not all dining halls are created equal. BU has four open dining halls at the moment, so here is my ranking of the four open dining halls on BU\u2019s campus.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2021\/09\/dan-gold-4_jhDO54BYg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"dan-gold-4_jhDO54BYg-unsplash\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2021\/09\/dan-gold-4_jhDO54BYg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2021\/09\/dan-gold-4_jhDO54BYg-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2021\/09\/dan-gold-4_jhDO54BYg-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Coming in LAST PLACE is the \u201cFresh Food Co. at West Campus.\u201d To be completely honest, this is probably my least favorite because I\u2019ve eaten here the least; I\u2019ve never lived in\/near West. That being said, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve had a memorable meal here either. Perhaps a pasta carbonara here or a slice of pizza there, but nothing that sets it apart from other dining halls.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> In third, we have Fresh Fuel at Granby Commons \u2013 commonly referred to as Hillel. Granby offers lots of Vegan and Kosher options, and they\u2019re always fresh and delicious. I so enjoyed their vegan pizza that my group of friends named a group chat \u201cVegan Cheese.\u201d On top of the fresh food, you get an excellent view of the Charles river and a less travelled dining hall for a more quiet and intimate meal.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marciano Commons, also known as Baystate Dining Hall, has without a doubt the most pleasant atmosphere of any of the dining hall\u2019s on campus. Wide open spaces with plenty of natural light make eating here feel relaxing and rejuvenating. My favorite food from Baystate was always the fresh fried cod sandwich. It was always deliciously crunchy and the tartar sauce was perfect.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> This may stir some controversy, but I really like Warren Dining. There\u2019s certainly some nostalgia leftover from living seven floors above it freshman year, but the mainly I enjoyed many meals there. From build-your-own mac n\u2019 cheese and burger stations, to larb and tofu bahn mi\u2019s from the \u201cAsian Wok Station\u201d I\u2019ve usually left Warren feeling satiated. It\u2019s also incredibly convenient: next door to the COM building and CAS and literally underneath the second largest non-military dorm in the country. Warren is my winner.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dining Halls: Ranked By\u00a0A SENIOR WHo\u00a0LOVES Food &amp; Lacks a Dining Plan.
