Student Kitchens

Students have access to free hot water and microwaves at each of our three main campuses.
At Aberdeen City Campus students can use the room next door to the Students’ Association Office (Loch Street Entrance)
Having access to free hot water and microwaves allows students to prepare simple meals such as instant noodles and soups, make hot drinks and heat microwaveable meals while on campus.
The room is open freely during campus opening hours and is stocked with cleaning supplies for students to clean up as they go. The room is also maintained daily by College staff.
The implementation of Student Kitchens was one of the Students’ Associations’ key projects in the Student Partnership Agreement and is a direct response to the challenges that students are facing during the cost of living crisis. Please contact nescolsa@nescol.ac.uk for more information.
