Providing Healthy and Affordable Food Choices on Campus

Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta is committed to improving access to healthy, varied, and affordable food for students, staff, and members of the wider campus community. During 2024–2025, the University continued to expand campus food facilities while encouraging greater awareness of healthy eating and accessible food prices.

Affordable Campus Dining

In 2024, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta opened Syahida Inn Resto as an additional dining facility serving students, staff, hotel guests, and members of the surrounding community. The restaurant was developed to provide a comfortable and accessible dining environment with a varied selection of food.

Food prices were designed to remain accessible, with meals starting from approximately IDR 25,000. University leadership also emphasized that menu prices should remain affordable so that the facility can serve a broad range of students and campus users.

Fresh and Varied Food Choices

Syahida Inn Resto emphasises both menu variety and food quality. The restaurant uses fresh and quality ingredients and provides a range of food options intended to accommodate different preferences among students, staff, and visitors. Providing varied choices within the campus environment makes it easier for students to obtain meals without having to travel outside the University.

Promoting Healthy Food Choices

The University's commitment to healthier food consumption is also reflected in student and academic activities. In May 2025, lecturers and students from the Social Welfare Study Program organised healthy-food education activities at Pasar Tumpah near the University.

Participants received information about nutrition, selecting healthy ingredients, limiting excessive consumption of processed foods, and preserving nutritional value during food preparation. Students also introduced healthy food products, including low-sugar foods, vegetable- and fruit-based snacks, and herbal drinks.

Supporting an Accessible Campus Food Environment

By providing affordable campus dining and promoting healthier food choices, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta helps students and staff access food that supports both their financial circumstances and their well-being. The current evidence demonstrates the availability of healthy and affordable choices at selected campus food facilities and food-related activities.

The University continues to develop its campus food environment as part of its broader commitment to student welfare, health, and sustainable campus development.
