2. PRINTING AND PHOTOCOPYING

You can find a stationary shop in Building A1, mezzanine. There is also one on the ground floor of Building A1, near the entrance closest to the student hostels. It provides printing and photocopying (also in colour) and also scanning.
A number of photocopiers are installed at different parts of the university (e.g. in academic blocks and the library).

3. SHOPPING

Students are advised to go shopping to the nearby supermarkets LIDL and TESCO, or go downtown for doing their everyday shopping. There is a small tobacco shop at the back of the cafeteria building.
The majority of shops, supermarkets, stores, shopping centres, plazas (Miskolc Plaza, Szinvapark) and the traditional market are concentrated in the centre of the town within a relatively short radius. If you start walking from CENTRUM (SPAR supermarket)  to any direction along the main roads, you will surely find what you need in a few minutes. Similarly, you will come across post offices and banks. There are some supermarkets or hypermarkets (Auchan, Metro, Tesco, Lidl, Aldi) on the outskirts of the town, but they can be easily and directly reached by city buses. In most supermarkets you can pay by bank card.

4. FOOD & DRINK ON CAMPUS

The university has a large cafeteria open Monday through Saturday (lunch hours: 11:00-14:30 Mon-Thu; 11:00-14:00 Fri; 11:00-13:30 Sat). You can choose a fixed menu (2 choices in soups and 3 choices in main dishes are offered) at a fixed price ), or you can choose from all kinds of hot meals á la carte. Prices for the fixed menu can be lower if you buy a lunch ticket in advance (full month - 12 occasions, or half month - 6 occasions tickets, but they can only be used in the month they were purchased).

There are cafés, buffets, and bakeries in different parts of the university where cold and hot meals, beverages, coffee, tea, cakes, sandwiches, pizza and hamburgers are served. You can also find coffee and coke machines all over the campus.
