When preparing to resume the IJMB program, one important thing to keep in mind is that feeding is your responsibility. Unlike some boarding schools or university hostels where meal plans are included, IJMB centres do not provide feeding as part of their services.
No Meals Included in Your IJMB Fee
Many parents and guardians often ask if IJMB centres are responsible for feeding their students. The answer is simple: No, they are not. The fees you pay cover only your hostel accommodation aside from tuition and other important fees, not your daily meals.
Kitchen/Cooking Areas are Provided
While the centres do not offer meals, they make provisions for students who wish to cook. Each IJMB centre provides a kitchen or designated cooking area where students can prepare their meals.
If you plan to cook during your stay, you are advised to come along with your cooking utensils such as pots, plates, cutlery, and a gas cooker (if allowed in your centre).
Alternative Option: Buy Your Food
For students who prefer not to cook, there are usually canteens or restaurants nearby where you can buy food. While this option offers convenience, it may be more expensive in the long run compared to cooking your meals.
Conclusion
In summary, IJMB centres do not provide food or feeding plans. As a student, you are expected to take full responsibility for your feeding throughout the program. Whether you choose to cook using the provided kitchen space or buy from local food vendors, make your plans ahead of time and come prepared.
