We are a group of third year students from SAB (School of Accountancy and Business) doing our FYP (Final Year Project). The purpose of carrying out this survey is to find out the opinion of the population in NTU regarding the current food service system. The survey is opened to both staff and students in NTU.

We hope the results that we obtain from the survey will validate a change in the system for e.g. convince external franchisers to set up their operations in NTU. It's time to make a difference, and all it takes is just five to ten minutes of your time!
