Is it true what they say about dorm food? We think you’ll be surprised. Visiting students can join a current student for lunch and find out. These lunches are a great way to ask questions of a BU student and gain insights into BU from the student’s point of view. This option is open to students only, Monday through Friday at 12:30 p.m. Space is limited and advance notice of at least two weeks is required.
