If you live in catered accommodation, you get breakfast and dinner included in the price every weekday during semester.

Catered accommodation does not run during vacation periods.

Why choose catered accommodation?

No stress

You won't have to worry about what to cook or what to budget for food.

Eat well

Choose from a variety of options, cooked by our award-winning professionals.

Socialise

It's a great way to meet other students from your college and catch up with flatmates.

How does catered accommodation work?

Turn up to your college's dining hall at mealtimes and present your University ID (your student card) at the checkout. If you don't have your card you should be able to use the digital library card barcode in the MyUoY App as an alternative (please update to the latest version of MyUoY to do so).

  • Breakfast is served from 8am to 10.30am

If you want to take food away, you'll need to bring your own container with you.
