    The food is good, but not necessarily healthy, unfortunately. However, Salads are available in the dining room on certain occasions.

    The food here is okay. It gets to be very repetitive and a lot of it is heavy, greasy food unless you go for the lunch meat subs every day or the prepackages sandwiches in Kindlon Hall.

    In the beginning, Coal Ben may seem like a breath of fresh air and a really great place to eat and hang out between classes and during your free time with friends. However the food here gets old very fast, you will most likely get fed up with Coal Ben quickly. Also the food in Krasa is very unappealing, repetitive, and disgusting.

    The dining experience at Benedictine is more laid back and allows students to feel comfortable since this is the best time to break from studies.

    The food on campus is very delicious. Coal Ben is the hang-out place with deserts, sandwiches, pizzas, fried food, alcohol and much more. Also there is plenty of little consession stands inside campus building to grab food on the go.

    There are two locations for dining. The main cafeteria has set hours, but it is nice that the alternate location is open from seven in the morning until midnight.

    No Greek life is one of the downfalls of BU. For those hoping to join a frat or sorority this is not the university for you.
