Those who live at Exeter College have threatened to stop paying their battels – an Oxford term for food and accommodation costs. Undergraduates who moved into the residence this year were originally told they would not be able to use the first and second-floor kitchens for a few days during Fresher’s Week.
The college blamed an ‘ongoing maintenance issue’ and up to 90 students were forced to share the kitchen on the third floor,Students were offered a 60% discount at the Dakota Cafe and Exeter’s main dining hall as compensation.
