5 Reasons to eat on Campus
Save time, save money and eat better
Grabbing a bite to eat or drink on campus is much more than fuelling up between lectures, it’s a big part of the university experience. Which is why we make sure to make every caffeine fix, quick snack and sit down meal count.
Here’s five reasons why you should give campus cafés and restaurants a try.
1. Fresh options made every day
Did you know? Our chefs are in the kitchen early doors every morning to prepare fresh rolls, paninis, pastries and more for when you arrive on campus. They make sure that you have a menu of seasonal, nutritional food options throughout the year. Not to mention that the ingredients we use are sustainably sourced and fresh, using a lot of local Welsh suppliers – and you can taste the difference.
2. Diverse menus to cater to your cravings
Speaking of menus, whether you’re in the mood for a freshly toasted sandwich, buttery jacket potato or hearty hot meal, our restaurants and cafés usually cover it all. We have a range of outlets across our campuses, including a fully vegan and vegetarian café and hot counter restaurant.
So it’s always worth exploring the food outlets in and outside of your lecture building, all of our eateries are easy to get to from wherever you’re studying.
3. Plenty of offers and discounts
Eating on campus doesn’t have to bust your budget. You can find lots of meal deals and discounts throughout the day at all of our food outlets covering you for breakfast and lunch.
Don’t forget to download the CUFoods app too so you can start collecting points, stamps and earning rewards. Find out more about all the ways you can save some extra cash on campus.
4. Convenience when you need it most
Your timetable is bound to be busy enough without walking ages to get lunch. Make the most of the breaks you have and eat right where you study. It’s so easy to grab breakfast before class, pick up a coffee between lectures or sit down for lunch to unwind or fit in a little more studying before the end of the day.
5. A place to eat with your peers
Sharing a meal is one of the best ways to meet people and feel part of the uni community. CUFoods restaurants and cafés are social spaces as much as they are food spots. They’re perfect for catching up with friends, doing group study sessions with coursemates or just enjoying the buzz of campus life.
