A big part of living your best uni life is eating well. Doing this usually goes hand-in-hand with managing the challenges of a student budget and your studies, but success is in the planning! That’s not saying that enjoying delicious, nutritious meals means you have to compromise on other areas of uni life, like hanging out with friends, though (because balance is key, right?)!
If you live on campus, your shopping and planning options might differ to some of the ideas in this article, depending on whether you’re in a catered, flexi-catered or self-catered setup. But the basics of feeding yourself well as a student are the same, wherever you live: save time, save money, save stress, avoid an empty stomach, all while getting some good nutritional value to give you the energy you need for studying.
