Scranton Commons Dining Hall

The Scranton Commons serves as BU’s main on-campus dining hub. With a total of 14 dining station concepts across this all-you-care-to-eat location, there’s something for everyone! Hearty home-cooked meals, fresh out of the oven pizza, house-made soups, and fresh-rolled sushi doesn’t even scratch the surface.

True Balance is our allergen solution dining concept that offers delicious meals made for those with specific dietary needs. Our chefs prepare specialized options from ingredients without the eight most common food allergens: sesame, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat, milk, and eggs. True Balance is open for lunch and dinner, Monday through Friday.

Biodegradable eco to-go containers have made their way to the Commons! Guests can opt into our to-go meal program by asking our cashier for a to-go meal card when swiping in. Simply exchange your to-go meal card at the station you wish to receive your meal from.

The Scranton Commons has an updated look and feel this year! We’ve updated our station names and identities throughout the dining hall. In addition to all your favorite menu items, expect to see some delicious new choices!
