well not necessarily - the university can choose to put the funds towards stuff like that, but not necessarily provide all those services.

However, you will find the student union on campus generally attempts to provide those things (although it was hit by VSU, thus why the government is introducing this) including clubs and societies, etc etc

Run for SRC on a platform of giving students $250

Spending of funds is mandated to be determined by SRC input so this can happen

(i) helping students with their financial affairs;
(a) providing food or drink to students on a campus of the higher education provider;
