Cost of Living – AUB STUDENTS' UNION
taglineheader

Cost of Living is one of the biggest issues most students face today. As a students union, our priority is making sure students' voices are heard. Below are some ways we are currently helping students.

If there are any questions or suggestions on how the students' union could be improving the cost of living, email Lily at lsmith@aub.ac.uk

Student Pantry

The student pantry is stocked with a range of non-perishable foods as well as essential household items. We rely on donations and it is an anonymous take-what-you-need system that ensures any student struggling with food has access to basic meals.

There are also budget-friendly recipes from our student cookbook for those who need some extra help when making balanced meals.

The student pantry is located in a locked cupboard at the far end of the library, with appropriate signage from the front entrance. The code for the pantry is given once the online form is completed, which can be found on the link below:
