Students banned from going out of a certain school campus in Jinzhou city, Hubei province, have resorted to ordering takeaway foods from restaurants.

Students from Jingzhou Entrepreneurial Technical College have been banned from leaving the campus to eat at outside food joints during weekdays, according to Chutian Metropolis News. Instead, they are to buy and eat the food cooked in the school canteen. However, after growing tired of the food from the canteen, students have resorted to ordering takeaway food from nearby restaurants.

If There’s A Will, There’s A Way

Responding to the requests of hungry students, restaurant workers deliver food by passing them through college building windows, reached by climbing ladders up to three meters high. A photograph posted by a passer-by on social media shows restaurant workers in action.

According to a student, they only do this because they are not permitted to leave the college campus during weekdays. Chen Jinkai, who is in charge of JETC’s public affairs, said he will talk to students to resolve the matter.

College Problem

The current dilemma faced by students at JETC is similar to another school in Heilongjiang province. Last month, news surfaced that the Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine had banned food delivery vehicles from entering its campus, but still, vendors found a way through it: up the wall.

Photos on social media show vendors perched atop the three-meter-high walls, handing dumplings and other food items to students who prefer these over the campus cafeteria’s offerings – as university officials do nothing but watch.

The university earlier issued the ban because of concerns about student's safety. School officials have discouraged students from consuming unhealthy delivery food and encouraged them to eat foods sold in the campus cafeteria.
