Foodles is coming to a campus near you

As a result of your Students' Associations Cost of Living Survey and lobbying for your student needs. We are pleased, and excited, to see the University partner with Foodles to launch a Smart Fridge pilot at our Birmingham and Holborn Campuses.

Your Students' Association undertook a Cost of Living survey last year where 4,308 students shared their experiences. This informed how we advocated for support at Arden University to meet your student needs.

We are pleased to see one of the initiatives that we have successfully lobbied for become a reality. The University has partnered with Foodles to launch a Smart Fridge pilot scheme at our Birmingham and Holborn campuses.

The aim of this is to provide healthy, affordable, and accessible food options at your campus. The prices available through the smart fridges has been heavily subsidised by the University to ensure everyone can enjoy this when on campus. 

We are excited to see how this pilot will positively impact your student experience. This scheme is initially running at Birmingham and Holborn. However, if successful it will be rolled out across all of our other campuses!

This is an exciting win for your Students' Association and wouldn't have been possible with the input of your Student President. We look forward to delivering more initiatives off the back of your feedback from the Cost of Living Survey so thank you for sharing your feedback and keep working with us to make your experience better.
