Brandeis University is located in the west of Boston and Cambridge. There are many places suitable for students to eat, and there are many delicious restaurants, cafes and snack bars around the school. Although the school stipulates that all students who live in the dormitory on campus must participate in the catering plan, some students like to go to restaurants outside occasionally for a change. Below, I would like to recommend some delicious food on and off campus of Brandeis University.

School meal plan:

All students who live in the dormitory of Brandeis University are required to participate in the school meal plan, which has great flexibility, and students can choose their own meal time and place. The school provides four meal plans for most students: 1 meals a week, 12 meals a week, 15 meals a week and 19 meals a week. The cost of each semester ranges from $2,75 to $3,53, and residents can choose according to their own needs. For students living in apartments such as Ridgewood, Foster Mods, Charles River or off campus, you can choose one of the following four special meal plans: 8 meals a week, 8 meals a semester, 9 meals a semester or 6 meals a semester. Students who participate in the general catering plan must confirm their choice when applying for the dormitory on campus, and students who participate in the special catering plan can buy it at the designated place at any time during the school year and use it. In addition to the different number of meals per week, different catering plans also contain different amounts of Flex Points, and the meal expenses will be uniformly put in the student's ID card; When eating, you only need to swipe your ID card, and the expenses will be automatically deducted from your account.

food on campus:

? Sherman Dining Hall: This is the restaurant of Brandeis University, and it is also one of the places where students eat the most. It provides various traditional foods. Students can choose what they want to buy after seeing the real thing in the simple window or MyZone area. Basically, you can buy anything you want here, such as freshly baked pizza and pasta, bread with various flavors, homemade thick soup, ice cream and dessert.

　? Upper Usdan Food Court: This is another favorite dining place for students on campus. Most of the food provided here is Asian food, such as noodles, rice, rice noodles, salads, sushi, etc. It is undoubtedly an excellent choice for students who have just arrived at school and are not used to American food. The food here is very fresh. Juice smoothies are made of fresh fruits, and sushi and hand rolls are made on the spot every day. Rice noodles are a special feature here. You can choose a soup base and a side dish. The soup base has beef or vegetables, and the side dish can be beef, chicken, pork or baked tofu. The price of each bowl of rice noodles is $6.49. You can also choose rice or noodles, each with vegetables, side dishes and sauce. The side dishes can be beef, chicken, pork or baked tofu, and each bowl costs $7.99.

　? In addition to the above restaurants, there are many small dining places in Brandeis University, such as Hoot Market, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Starbucks, Quad Caf? 、Peets Coffee & Tea, etc., the food provided by these dining places is rich in variety, fresh and healthy, and affordable. Usually you can buy all kinds of snacks, drinks, coffee, bread, seasonal fruits, bagels, salads, sandwiches, cakes, muffins, biscuits, etc. It should be noted that the business hours of these restaurants are different, so students who want to go should confirm the business hours in advance.

off-campus food:

? Chinatown:

For students who are new to school and have not yet adapted to American food, eating in Chinese restaurants is undoubtedly an excellent choice. Boston's Chinatown is the third largest Chinatown in the United States, located in the city center, with convenient transportation. This is almost a microcosm of the streets of Hong Kong, with the main entrance standing? The world is public? The archway with four characters, with a map of China printed on the ground in front of the door, makes the street feel clean and tidy as a whole. Walking in Chinatown, Cantonese-speaking Chinese can be seen everywhere. The shop signs are mostly in traditional Chinese characters, and there are various Chinese restaurants and cake shops on both sides. Here you can eat special cakes, fresh seafood and spicy Sichuan cuisine. It not only attracts many Chinese students, but also many local Americans like to come here, drink Guangdong morning tea and eat Chongqing hot pot which is popular in recent years. Here are some restaurants that China students prefer to go to:

1. Mulan, the restaurant is mainly Taiwanese food, and the restaurant is not big, but the food inside is very characteristic of China. The recommended dishes include: Mulan roast chicken, stir-fried fish fillets, fish-flavored eggplant, braised pork rice and so on. Because the food is authentic and affordable, it is often equal.

2. Xin Xin Xin Restaurant, which mainly serves Vietnamese dishes, is full of authentic Vietnamese beef rice noodles, and is worth a try with mint leaves, bean sprouts, lemons and other side dishes. The price of a bowl of rice noodles is about 7~8 dollars. Because the food tastes authentic and the price is affordable, it always attracts a large number of diners here.

3. Treasure Seafood Building, located in Jumbo Seafood, 7 Hudson St., is one of the largest restaurants in Boston Chinatown. The hotel uses fresh and clean materials. The signature dish, Treasure Shrimp, is steamed with wine and fresh garlic, which is almost a must for every table.

It should be noted that you usually have to tip when dining in Boston. Generally, the tip is 15% of the meal amount. When checking out, please carefully check the bill to see if the bill amount already includes the tip. There are also two China supermarkets in Chinatown. Although they are small in scale, they have a wide range of things and can buy a lot of China food. Interested students might as well buy some fruits and vegetables to take home after dinner. Students who need to go can take the subway Fitchburg Line at Brandeis/ Roberts, change to the subway Orange Line at the North Station-Orange Line Inbound, get off at Tufts Medical Center, and walk for about 48 meters. The whole journey takes about 4 minutes.
