The provision of healthy and affordable food options on campus

There is a canteen on the central WUT campus. Since 2021, Chochelka Bistro has also been operating there, This canteen is very often used by students and employees of the Warsaw University of Technology because of its very good prices. It is also open to numerous guests from outside the university.

There are canteens or food kiosks at individual faculties, e.g.:

  2. https://www.facebook.com/StudentCafePW/

Prices in all those places are about 1/3 cheaper than on other places outside the WUT Campus. For example, a soup can be ordered for 5-9 PLN (about 1.2-2 euros), and the main course for 10-20 PLN (about 2-4 euros) depending on the place and the dish.
