"We are indeed planning for the trial on UAS. This is the right moment, because the UAS is like the culmination of one semester of lectures, so you need intake so you can concentrate. "The hope is that when they get good intake, the results will be maximum," he said.
Professor and curriculum development expert Unesa< /a> added that nutritious breakfast packages were only prepared in the morning session or for students taking the first exam session offline on campus.

The breakfast package is prepared at each faculty or study program at Unesa Campus 1 Ketintang and Campus 2 Lidah Wetan. Meanwhile, the provision of nutritious breakfast at Unesa Campus 5 Magetan starts 6-9 January 2025.
Every day, the breakfast package comes with a different menu, of course with a balanced nutritional dose.

This program was well received by students, one of whom was Kharisma Dwi Cahyani, a student at the Faculty of Languages and Arts (FBS). According to him, this program was very helpful for students who haven't had breakfast from house or boarding house, saving more on expenses too.
Especially in the middle of the UAS period, this program is felt to have a positive impact on them, because they don't need to think about breakfast in the midst of busy exams.
"The food is delicious, but for me maybe the portion is not big enough, and thank God there is extra milk too. "If, for example, this continues to be realized in the future, it will really help students," said the English Language Education Undergraduate Study Program student.[*]
