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.

Considering we’re an agriculture school, this is pretty impressive (since we have so many dining halls, maybe just one could do meatless mondays??? Like D2 could offer the dining pass at a lower cost on that day??)

One cool thing I would add is the opportunity to volunteer at Kentland Farms. It’s in the process of becoming organic and you can help grow, maintain or harvest crops that will appear in the dining halls. For those interested in growing their own produce (which is just another proof point that vegan diets can be incredibly inexpensive) it’s an awesome way to get involved.

They have an app that lets you know exactly what foods are vegan. There aren’t a ton of vegan options but there are a few at each dining hall. They have plenty of non-dairy milk available, but virtually no vegan deserts are available.
