How do College nights work?

You'll have dinner on campus at the Piazza restaurant one evening each week, with other students who live in your accommodation.

All you need to do is turn up at the Piazza restaurant on your allocated evening and present your University ID (your student card) or the digital Eat and Drink card barcode in the MyUoY App at the checkout. 

Dinner is served from 5pm to 7.15pm

  • Monday - Goodricke College & Anne Lister College [blocks A1 to B3]
  • Tuesday - Constantine College
  • Wednesday - Anne Lister College [blocks C to J]
  • Thursday - Langwith College
  • Friday - David Kato College

See Piazza restaurant on the campus map.

If you want to take food away, you'll need to bring your own container with you. If you lose or damage your University ID card you'll need to get a new one.
