Whether they’re concerned about the climate catastrophe, saving animals, or improving their health, more and more young people are recognizing the benefits of going vegan. According to the Good Food Institute, the sales of animal-free foods grew three times faster than overall food sales in 2021. Research shows that Gen Zers specifically view going vegan as a way to promote compassion toward animals, address the climate catastrophe, lower their carbon footprint, and promote sustainability. Check out which universities are moving with the times and offering vegan options!

We assess completed questionnaires and the dining hall menus of thousands of colleges and universities across the country and then grade the schools to help you determine how your current or prospective one stacks up. If you’re a current student, always remember that you have considerable power to effect change. Learn how to start a campaign to get more vegan options on your campus.

Our school no longer has a vegan section in the cafeteria. It was replaced with an “allergy free” area that serves meat and steamed vegetables. They offer soy milk but I struggled to find vegan options at every meal. I think I ate more salads last year than I ever had in my six years of veganism. I had my meal plan waived because the school was not willing to offer vegan options at every meal. This school should not receive an “A” grade. A “C” would be more appropriate.

There is a garden on campus with fresh produce that is provided to the dining hall. There is a vegan/vegetarian dining area on campus and everything is properly labeled as such. Fresh fruit/salad bar and vegan milk options as well.
