Whereas some students may convince themselves that they are keeping a campus figure and living on empty bellies, others actually love them some food. Campus Bee has decided to list some of the favourite eat-outs around your campus.
The Bee also found that most of the students preferred to eat from restaurants located in the vicinity of their universities, with an exception to some that are near their places of residence.
Kyambogo University: KFC, Kireka Branch recently opened. The chicken here is perfection, justifying the large numbers that stock the place. Another favorite is KFC. K for Krispy and not Kentucky. The eat out offers chicken almost identical to that of KFC, with almost the same yummy taste.
Purples Hills also draws numbers. Located inside the university, food can be got at literally any cost. Students stock this place for the finest ‘luwombo’.
IUEA: The students here are fond of the University Cafeteria. Given the international nature of the students here, the food is also exotic. You will find all sorts of dishes; Indian, Chinese, and local foods.
The students also devour chicken on a daily. KFC and Chicken Tonight are strategically located outside the University giving students a run for their money.
MUBS: It has some of the cheapest food out of all campuses. Dining Hall Kido Kido in the University is unique. Food can go for as low as 500. The restaurant measures its food in scoops. You will hear students routinely asking for scoops of meat, rice, matooke and the like.The most expensive soup is the liver soup that goes for 1000 shillings.
Hajjats restaurant located within the University is another Mubs favourite. The cheapest plate can go for 3,500 shillings.
MAK: Business at Uganda’s oldest and biggest university is always booming. Food surrounds the campus at every corner. Some names like Mama Ken, The Guild Canteen and the Binx Restaurant shine out. These places cook all varieties of food but local foods dominating and at an affordable price.
UCU, Mukono: Touch of Class and the Guild Canteen are located inside the University and favourites to many. They have all sorts of traditional and exotic dishes. They also operate as a take-away for those who would not want to eat from the restaurant.
Campus Café, a new restaurant located just two minutes away from the UCU main gate is simply worshipped. For a taste of class, students here love Café Pora located a few kilometres from the University along Jinja Road. It is the ideal place you would want to take a babe for ice cream for a first date.
Victoria University: This University is located at the heart of Kampala and seems to be deprived of restaurants with affordable prices for mere students. However, the nearest restaurants are; Victoria Café which is located on the same building as the University. It serves both local and international foods.
Also above Kampala road is Cafe Javas, which is a favourite to some of these students.
Ndejje University: The restaurants are a bit far from the university but the students enjoy delicacies from Ngejje gardens, the Hear Restaurant, and Whatsapp gardens. One can get a plate of food for as low as 3,000 shillings.
At the Kampala Campus, the surrounding of the university is dotted with many restuarants. Esteri, Canaani and Double Food restaurants are among the favourites.
Islamic University in Uganda: Students enjoy the food from Halal restaurant. The cheapest plate can go for as low as 2,000. At the Mbale Campus, Taufik, Mukise and Hawas restaurants offer very cheap food for the students.
Nkumba University, located along Entebbe Road has an abundancy of eat outs here. The students here usually flock Victoria Mall getting themselves delicacies from Café Javas, KFC. Also is a guild canteen inside the university.
Nkozi University students go to Soul gardens, the Common Room Nkozi and the Equator line restaurant for their meals.
