Food at Northeastern University

<p>How is the food at Northeastern? Is it at least edible? Are there a lot of options, including vegetarian/vegan stuff? What about inexpensive off-campus dining?</p>

<p>The food is definitely edible. I’ve personally not had any major issues with it, and compared to other campuses I’ve visited, it’s definitely above average. There is a pretty decent variety between the three dining halls (thought there is some overlap in offerings). The dining hall in International Village has a dedicated Vegetarian/Vegan station, though you could probably eat comfortably at the other dining halls. </p>

<p>As for inexpensive off-campus options… really depends on how much you’re used to paying for a meal. There are enough places that a pretty decent spread of prices are available, so I’d assume you could find something in your range.</p>

<p>In college, I was vegetarian (I’m vegan now) and I quickly got bored with the dining hall. I only had a meal plan my freshman year, though, and International Village didn’t exist.</p>

<p>Honestly, just based on the Stetson dining halls, you’d be eating a lot of the same stuff, and if you’re vegan, a lot of salad and plain pasta. I hope IV has better options. I was completely thrilled to have a kitchen sophomore year. I didn’t go hungry, but there wasn’t good variety, and I never felt like I was eating very healthy food.</p>

<p>There are really good vegetarian and vegan options off-campus. There are a few places right there and the Boston area has some great restaurants as well.</p>

<p>Are any of the dining facilities open during the summer? I’ve perused the website but couldn’t find a listing of the dining facilities. We always like to eat on campus during a tour to get an idea of the food.</p>

I know that International Village is open.</p>

<p>International Village was not open a few weeks ago during orientation. The food there is great - sushi bar, waffle makers, omelets made to order all day, great variety of coffee, iced teas, and other drinks, lots of vegan and veg options, etc.</p>
