Why should I choose a Meal Plan?

University life can be incredibly busy. Between studying, working and enjoying the social life Glasgow famously has to offer, finding time for healthy meals can be a challenge. Our prepaid meal plans take the stress out of eating, offering a convenient and affordable way to enjoy delicious, freshly cooked meals on campus from the James McCune Smith Learning Hub, our Soil Association: Food for Life Served Here Bronze accredited kitchen, or from any campus catering outlet.

Testimonials

"Quality is great and the food is super delicious!! Meals seem varied enough for me, but I’m a huge fan of rice and pasta dishes, so I’m probably biased. Great experience overall =]"

"The quality of food and variety has been pretty great."

"Really nice variety and nutritious too"
