Student Reviews

  I think Princeton does an awesome job providing vegan options for students. Every dining hall has a vegan bar, some bigger than others (Wilcox is the best!), and you won’t starve.
  Overall, a really good job. One thing I’d like to see more of is hot vegan options as well as more nights like the recent “Flexitarian Night” at Forbes which was all veg/vegan food.

  There are very few vegan or even vegetarian options at Princeton, whether in the dining halls, in campus food stations or University restaurants, or in student centers. Only the nondairy milk is consistently available, and vegan entrees are extremely rarely offered. Little thought or preparation seems to go into vegan sides or vegetarian options compared to those containing meat or animal products. Some things which could be vegan if prepared properly (ie cooked vegetables) are cooked in butter or animal fat.

  This school is the WORST i’ve ever encountered for being vegan or even vegetarian. I think if you’re an undergrad and eat in the dining halls, then it seems better- you can go to a specific dining hall that has better options (Wilson College) but for me, as a grad student, I have really had an extremely difficult time eating here and it’s had huge rippling effects on my health and wellbeing. I didn’t realize how important this was until I was stuck in this cheesy buttery unhealthy food desert. The ONLY available food options are at cafe viv, which are cold packaged clunky dumplings, cold noodles, packaged fake chicken salad- Not a single warm healthy vegetarian or vegan dish to be found anywhere else. Imagine eating those for two meals a day every day for years of your life.
