YOU can now get your daily dose of Starbucks coffee right in school, from an outlet that has just opened on October 5 at the Student Activities Centre (SAC). Students and staff will also get 10 per cent off the prices of all food and drinks when they flash their NTU identification cards at the counter. However, there are no seats in the outlet, although customers can turn to the sofas and armchairs at the SAC and Global Lounge. Starbucks said that this is due to space constraint at the SAC.
President of the NTU Students’ Union, Ramanan Kumarasamy, 21, said the decision to bring in Starbucks to NTU was made after students expressed that they wanted a good place to have coffee while studying late.
The Starbucks outlet will operate from 7.30am to 10pm on weekdays, later than most cafes and canteens in NTU, which close at 9pm. The outlet will also be open on Saturdays from 8am to 6pm, and on Sundays from 10am to 4pm. During the holidays, the coffee also continues brewing, from 8am to 5pm.
