Accommodation and Meals

Meals

Meals are available in the student cafeteria, which is also run by SIA. The cafeteria was voted by students to be the best in Norway in 2002, 2004 and 2005 Gallup surveys. It includes a full-service cafeteria, bakery, fast-food counter and cafe.
Lunch services range from sandwiches, salads, soups, burgers and pizza to full warm meals. Dinner is also available in the cafeteria until 5:30 pm. However, many Norwegian students follow the tradition of bringing their lunch with them to campus and the majority of students prepare their own dinners at home. Student accommodation is self-catering, and meal plans are not offered. For prices, please see SiA Cafeteria.
