Find a Cheap Meal on a Boston College Campus
It the food part of your travel budget is running a little low, but you just can’t face one more trip to the local grocery store for bread and peanut butter, try heading to a nearby college campus to find a hot meal for a reasonable price.
While many students take their meals in their dorm dining halls, most campuses still have other student dining facilities. Whether it’s a snack bar, cafe, full restaurant or bar, the prices are geared to a student budget. Of course, the food is geared to a student palate as well, but if you’ve been subsisting on a diet of cold snacks, a burger may seem pretty darn tasty.
Most non-dorm dining facilities are open to the greater campus community – meaning visitors as well as students. Plan on using cash, as not all accept debit or credit cards.
Since Boston if full of colleges and universities, I’m sure there are lots of options for a reasonably priced meal.
If you know a great campus cafe or bar, please leave a recommendation in the comments.

In my book, Walking Boston, I recommended Johnny’s Luncheonette in nearby Newton (30 Langley Rd. for cheap eats and a casual atmosphere.
