it's an amazing place with good organic food and nice people - shame on the university if it can find a place for Starbucks but not a volunteer-led student Cafe

This café was the centre of my social life throughout five years as a postgraduate student in Aberdeen. I particularly appreciated the participatory ethos and the way in which food and drink were seen not as a commodity, but as a value to be shared and enjoyed. The University is supposed to exist for the benefit of students, to encourage their intellectual development. This is entirely incompatible with an ethos that sees students as a revenue source for the University's business partners. The decision needs to be reversed for the sake of the University's credibility as an educational institution.

please dont shut it down. As a former student, I can say that this cafe is smth special for Aberdeen Uni, it would be a mistake and would kill a part of the student experience

great cafe providing an important space for students. Something irreplaceable about to be eliminated for some soulless chain cafe no doubt.

It has cheap fairly traded organic food and is the only place like this on campus - the students want it and this should matter to University Management

Some of the most valuable lessons i learnt at uni were learnt in this space (which back then was still in the chaplaincy). This will be a huge loss if it goes.

Thought they were upto something sneaky trying to oust this friendly soup cafe further within the school grounds a few years back. Did they wait a few years to cover their steps??

Shared planet is a space for healthy food and fosters a true sense of community between students. It has been like a church to me, my weekly (and then daily) source of nourishment! This space is important, it is valuable, it is inclusive and constructive. All that through amazing food. Let it live! Let it thrive!

I adored Shared Planet. Such a cool different place on campus for cheap and healthy grub. I am totally and completely opposed to this. I wish the campaign every success and please do keep me updated on this. It's vital it remains open. Power to the People!

Shared Planet is one of the best spaces for group study activities on campus. It's accessible, inexpensive, and food restriction-friendly. With campus becoming an increasingly-expensive and and unwelcoming space, closing Shared Planet would be AUSA seriously letting students down.

Shared Planet Cafe was one of the best student spaces during my fondly spent five years at Aberdeen University - it would be a great loss to see it go, and it should be saved.
