Meanwhile, students themselves are looking for ways to make ends meet. Rather than eating in a canteen, Wei Lisha, a Nankai University student, prefers to cook for herself.
Wei and her room mates bought electric stoves this semester. They usually make hotpot by putting vegetables, meat and noodles in boiling water. Two or three students will share this kind of lunc or dinner. "A nutritious meal costs us 3-4 yuan each, which is less than a standard canteen meal," Wei said.
Experts say that university canteen costs are determined by many factors, such as labor, power, water and so on.
Wang Xuming, a Ministry of Education spokesman, said on Monday that "local governments should give universities a special price for water and electricity to keep costs down."
