Boston University is unique in the sense that it has students that hail from all 50 states and and over 100 countries. But no matter what a BU student's primary language is, there is one thing that unites them all - a great love for all things T. Anthony.
While every college campus has a couple of go-to cheap eateries, the devotion to T. Anthony at BU has become close to a religion (certainly with more worshippers than at services in Marsh Chapel). Every BU student has been to T. Anthony at least once, but most consider it a second home. Mike, Nick, Carmella, Derek, Paulie and more - every BU student seems to know at least one of the dedicated employees there, and has even gone out with them on occasion. Freshmen are intimidated by these legends, who can come off as gruff and blase at first, but have the incredible ability of remembering dozens of orders at a time when that 2 am rush of drunken revelers comes in on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights (always able to magically finding a table no matter how crowded it is).
The West Campus eatery has been an institution for years, and is a go-to spot for BU athletes after their games (the hockey team, however, doesn't deign to go there after games and instead has it delivered to Agganis Arena). Former and current BU athletes can find pictures of themselves all over the walls, celebrating the glory that is BU athletics.
T. Anthony also offers the best chicken parm sub around, which has become an integral part of the Boston University Student's life. If you ever encounter a Boston University Student, you can make him or her feel at ease by mentioning your love of T. Anthony (and hatred of Boston College).
