Exam-hungry students are able to appease any study-induced appetites with free breakfasts this week at the Otago University Students Association's student support centre in Ethel Benjamin Pl.

The OUSA free breakfasts have become something of a custom during university exam time, with the initiative being well supported during the mid-year examinations, a student support centre spokesman said.

Students Uzair Hazim and Casey Lochead were filling up their cereal bowls yesterday on the first day of the end-of-year exam breakfasts, before heading to the central library to study.

OUSA, in conjunction with the Dunedin City Council, is also helping to organise the first of several "skip days" to assist students with the annual clean-up and relocation from many of their flats.

Skips will be placed at sites in the student area this Friday and Saturday.
