This was one of the best places in uni. Definitely the best one to eat in!

Never been to it, but always heard about it. It's obviously popular to the student body and we should at least be given a (real) reason for its closure.

This is where I met most of my friends in Aberdeen and many other interesting people. We built a wonderful community and had a lot of people, sometimes even whole families, from outside the University coming to the cafe.
Volunteering was a great opportunity for students to get work experience in a friendly environment, where they could learn and make mistakes.
We have put a lot of hard work into running the cafe and it's very sad to see that the university management have so little respect for us, they won't even tell us exactly why they won't let us reopen.

I miss the great toasties and soup! Cheap and cheerful. Actually, I believe the University stated that the society was "too political", and whilst I disagree with them supporting Zapatista guerrillas, there was a better way to handle the issue. Renting out to companies like Starbucks damages the community environment. Bring back Shared Planet!

Such a shame that Aberdeen Uni is taking away this great space for encouraging community and sustainability among students.

Only place on campus to get reasonably priced, healthy, organic hot food.

The university should be supporting things like this not destructing them!

Disgusting that the University shows so little loyalty to the students and staff that make the institution so successful.

If the decision to shut down the Shared Planet cafe has been made due to the monstrosity that is Starbucks, then the university should feel thoroughly ashamed for stifling student enterprise and instead investing in corporate franchise that does nothing to promote the wellbeing of students.

We have a Starbucks, but no Shared Planet? Do explain your ideas about locally sourced, sustainable bussiness practice.

I am not vegetarian or vegan but Shared Planet offered something different on campus. It was a great place for cheap, healthy food and great that it was a student initiative!

This is ridiculous! Shared Planet was the best thing on campus and it is disappointing that the management doesn't take into consideration what students really want! Good luck with this and I wish I could be there to support!

Shared Planet Café offered students and other members of society a nice atmosphere to sit down and have some cheap, organic and vegan food. closing it down without student consultation and without explaining their decision or policy behind it is frustrating.

I was a passionate volunteer and want it t reopen. there is no place on campus for students to buy healthy, good, local and most of all vegan and affordable food.
Keep this open!!
