Cooking!

I love to cook. I make it a point to cook at least once a week. I teach a cooking class ect. Will there be access to cooking facilities in the dorms? Does Boston have a rent a kitchen?

There is a place in Danielsen Hall that you can cook at. That is about it. So if you are in Warren, West, Towers, or any of the other freshman dorms, you are out of luck.

You'll need your own pots, pans, and utensils though.

Make a friend that lives in an apartment or apartment style dorm.

That's what my friends and I did. We would have a once a week cooking party.

Hell, become friends with me. I have a huge kitchen with every appliance and utensil one could possibly need yet I don't think I have cooked in there a single time. Haha, my favorite nights are ones where people want to cook and eat at my place (free food!!!)

Some brownstones on Bay state road have community kitchens in the basement and scattered about.

Shaw's supermarket is just west of Agganis Arena. My S bought most of his food there last year. He was in BU housing on Buswell Street.

If you are seriously into cooking, then you could look at what SHA offers. There is a large foodie world in Boston, much of it centered in Allston just off campus, and BU brings in people during the year. A BU blog "source" is thefoodmonkey.com, by a foodie getting his PhD in neuroscience at BU.
