Dining
Ashesi has three canteens on campus, with the largest located in the Hive, a community recreation space. With an open courtyard and multiple seating “huts,” the Hive can host over 500 people at once. Meals are served from 7 a.m. to midnight, and students can either pay as they go or sign up for a semester-long meal plan with tiered options.
There is a no-cooking policy in student rooms on campus, but each residence hall also has shared kitchenettes with kettles, microwaves, and fridges.
Meal Plans
To make it easier to manage meal costs, Ashesi also runs an optional meal plan system. Students can preload money onto their student cards and use it to pay for meals in the cafeterias. Meal plans are available at different cost levels, with options designed to cover three meals a day for a variety of budgets.
