Hi there,
Just a suggestion that has come from a variety of people is about having a microwave somewhere where students can reheat their food.
As it can be quite expensive to eat in the university everyday for day students, and also cold food sometimes just doesn't supress the appetite.
I am aware there was a microwave in the Haliwell for students to use, however this year it seems to have gone.
Kind regards

Hi Jennifer, there's a microwave in the SU office as well that you'd be welcome to use for the time being - and I know that Rob Simkins is keen to see if we can get an additional microwave added somewhere else on campus as well. Thanks for your idea!
Hi Jennifer - we passed a project form on Wednesday to change one of the rooms in the upstairs of the Carmarthen SU Building into a space with a microwave and some sofas for this purpose. It's also worth noting that Taphouse 72 (the bar & cafe in the SU Building) have agreed to let students bring and eat their own food in their space, so you don't have to hide away!
Hi Jennifer, great idea, a microwave would be useful in the school of early years building especially for evening students as most have come straight from work. I know you can pre- order food in the small café before closing time but a microwave would be so convenient for all.
