Does the Student Food Experience Really Suck?

Chips, beans and cheese toasties… Get ready, because today we’re talking about the student food experience in all its glory! We’re heading all the way back to 2005, when Ben Ebbrell and Jamie Spafford were just starting out at uni. We discuss what student cooking is like and hear some of your uni nightmares, while Ebbers does his best to convince us that it isn’t really that bad… With so much food content available now, we’re wondering if the student food experience still sucks. If you’re a student, let us know in the comments below! Has your experience of cooking been the same? Do you have any pearls of wisdom for future students?
