Senior Week: Fun and Food on the (BU) Beach
BU’s annual Senior Week is always chock-full of ways for soon-to-be graduates to celebrate the close of their Terrier careers with fellow grads—among them a Red Sox game, a Senior Bash, a carnival, a trip to Six Flags, a Commencement cruise. On May 14, it was a Food Truck Fest on the BU Beach, with offerings from Roxy’s Grilled Cheese, BibimBox, Montillio’s, Berry Sweets, Papi’s Stuffed Sopapillas, and Teado.
