boston university requires that all students living in dormitories be enrolled in a year-long meal plan. the plans offer differing ratios of meals and dining points, depending on which is chosen. meals are used to gain access to one of the university's three residential dining service locations on an all-you-can-eat basis (at west campus, warren towers, and marciano commons) and dining points can be used at designated eateries around campus on a cash basis. a kosher plan exists which can be used at the kosher dining hall at the hillel house.
