Sometimes as a student you might just want a quick bite as you catch up with the day’s hectic classwork but can’t get it because the restaurants are a distance away from your campus.
This means you will have to go through lessons hungry, which according to health experts, is not a healthy thing to do. This has been the routine for some students at Victoria University which didn’t have a guild canteen.
However, this is now history after the University administration, guild cabinet and students officially opened a modern cafeteria called Victoria Café on the ground floor of the University complex located on Jinja road.
The cafeteria will serve all sorts of food to meet the needs of local and international students. The acting vice chancellor Joseph Nyakaana officially launched Victoria Café with a promise to further facilitate more social events to make student’s stay at the University worthwhile.
“I take this opportunity to inform and assure you that effective next month, even as you plan to start your exams, there must be a social evening every month. Please organize this, the resources are there.
There must be a social evening whether it is to engage you as students, administration or the promoter. The new Vice Chancellor should find when everything is in place. The promoter wants to see you enjoy your student life as much as possible.” the vice chancellor explained.
The guild president Keith Mugabi said “We have been having a number of Restaurants out University premises where students have been getting food. Now Victoria Café has come and will serve students diligently.”
Patricia Nassozi, a Human Resource Management student, said Victoria Café’s good food will keep students within campus premises during break time. “Instead of going to different cafeterias around time, we will come here and get something to eat and go back to class,” she said.
