Everything you need to know

DailyBites is money that is put onto your student ID, which you can spend in the cafe and food outlets on campus.

If you are living in catered accommodation, everyone can enjoy the ease of DailyBites, and the allowance will automatically put onto your card as these are included in your accommodation package.

There are over 30 catering outlets, bars, restaurants and cafes across Jubilee and University Park Campus you'll be spoilt for choice.

What if I'm not living in catered halls?
