Food for thought (literally)
Free and low-cost meals and groceries for students
One of the most important foundations to be able to feel and do your best at university is eating healthy and filling meals throughout the day: that’s before classes, between classes, and after classes.
That’s why UQU provides free and low-cost meals and grocery items to students year-round on campus, so preparing tasty brain food and racking up costly grocery bills are two less things you need to worry about.
Brought to you by UQ Union and SecondBite, Food Co-Op is a pantry for UQ students to stock up on a range of free and low-cost grocery items. Located in the Union Complex, St Lucia, this is your go to hub for cost-effective living!
Please note, this is available exclusively to Mates Rates members – join now, it’s free!
