Food
There is no need to go hungry on campus thanks to the cafeterias and bistros provided by Student Affairs (Studierendenwerk). Students will find a wide selection available: from breakfast to snacks and pastries to various main meals and side orders which can be combined for lunch. Anyone who likes to cook can obtain free food from Fairteiler (part of foodsharing Darmstadt) (in German) , which is located in the student's union (AStA) open space.
