Dining Hall Facilities

Hello there, my name is Kubranur Korkmaz and I am a graduate student in the department of international relations at the social sciences university of Ankara. I also work as a part-time student at the refractory. For this reason, today I will talk about the conditions and particulars of the cafeteria in the university. There are 3 cafeterias in our university: in the preparatory building, the sumerbank building, and in the rectorate. Since there are 3 dining halls, we don’t need to wait too much, thus we save a lot of time. It is really convenient to not have any queues in the dining halls. Other than that, there are no different refractories for the students or the academics. We have the opportunity to eat together with our teachers in the same dining halls. This is situation that strengthens communication between us. Our catering system is as follows: we put money onto our student cards at the counters and then we can use our cards at the turnstiles to collect our meals. Our meals are made in the kitchen behind the biggest refractory at the university. For this reason, students can go and visit the kitchen if they so wish. There is no problem in terms of hygiene anyway. Our kitchen is undergoing frequent inspections and students can also go and visit the kitchen. I can easily say that all the necessary health and hygiene conditions in the kitchen have been paid attention to. One of the opportunities provided by our university is food stipends. Students who wish to benefit from these apply to the directorate of health, culture and sports, and, if they meet the criteria, can get their meals in this way. I wish success to those students who choose this university.
