The Mona Campus of the University of the West Indies is not yet at full capacity with mainly new students milling around their new school home.

They are in fact very obvious – sleek hairstyles, brand new jeans with matching tops, gleaming track shoes and long painted nails.

It is they, who are for the most part, stretched out, and totally relaxed at the fashionable Pages restaurant, soaking up their new place of abode for the next three years.

There is much learning to look forward to within these hallowed walls of academia.

Filling meals will be needed to absorb these crucial lessons.

Pages for example boasts chicken prepared to tantalise the most discerning taste buds and includes barbecue and curried.

There is veggy chunks, sweet and sour tofu, sweet and sour fish, roti, red pea, chicken soup as well as a wide selection of desserts.

Comfortable dining is offered in a piazza setting with comfortable lounge chairs.

For those in search of a view, there is a top level whilst those in need of a cooler environment are free to dine inside, amidst golden tangerine splashed walls with soothing sounds of Tracy Chapman.

The gentle approach of the husband and wife team of David and Jacqueline Brown is what we suspect ensures repeat customers.

The equally imposing Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant next door offers cool air conditioned comfort, lots of chicken and with the convenience of the Chancellor Hall study room.

Lots of finger licking temptation.

Traffic is brisk here and the eating environment scrupulously clean.

The original Submerge eaterie offers a casual setting where students enjoy sandwiches amongst many other favourite food items.

Burger King we are told does the campus every Thursday, a Guild Bus provides complimentary shuttle service to Liguanea, and Mary Seacole Hall is the place to enjoy true campus fare.

All halls of residence offer kitchen facilities which includes a microwave, freezer, and stove facilities.

Parents it would appear can rest assured that their young adults will not starve. There is also the guarantee that many will also graduate with much improved culinary skills and more tolerant taste buds.
