Shared Planet cafe is amazing - through it I found my place at university and some great friends. Shared Planet cafe has provided a vibrant student space, opening minds to new ideas and challenging the way of doing things. It would be a huge loss to the student community and the city of Aberdeen if it was forced to close.

Shared Planet Cafe was probably the best thing about my student experience at Aberdeen Uni - great food, an open and supportive network of students and friends, a hub for action around environmental and social issues and the setting for many cultural and political talks and discussions as well as a key point of contact with the local community. UoA and AUSA would be making a great mistake if they allowed positive student activity to be stifled due to commercial motivations or bureaucratic barriers. REOPEN SHARED PLANET!

It is unacceptable that the university and AUSA feel justified in not only preventing an incredibly popular space from continuing, but in not being transparent about the decisions taken. Shared Planet Cafe is a fantastic space and should be fully supported to continue.

Shared Planet cafe is one of the reasons for which we take pride in the University of Aberdeen. To see it go is a significant loss - particularly in the international marketability of the university as a brand.

I really believe that Shared Planet Café deserves a place on campus, and other fellow students do believe that as well. There are many arguments that would support that and I could easily state them if challenged.

Really, University of Aberdeen, looks like this cafe is making you uncomfortable. If there is a good reason for close it down, than please share it with the rest of the community. If there isn't, please reopen it.

The cafe provided a meeting place unlike any other in the campus/city and was a way of communicating messages around sustainability and alternative food provision which is increasingly important. It would be a real shame to lose such a space, especially with the likes of Starbucks coming in.

I know many students who use the shared planet cafe to build community, share ideas and carry out amazing social and environmental justice campaigns. To force the cafe to close would be a direct attack on student welfare, democracy and the social movements that are fighting for a more just world.

A lovely place full of like minded humanists and the uni don't support that!?! How can they not want considerate and responsible people with an interest in the world?

That's outrageous! They just promised a bigger space and now they want to shut the whole cafe? My friend painted everything! Where are the ethics?

Shared Planet Cafe was an amazing place with delicious, affordable food and a great atmosphere. What could possibly 'contravene University policy' I do not understand at all.
Fuck the commercialisation of university campuses
