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.

Although I became vegan during my senior year at Loyola (during which time I did not have a meal plan), I noticed that it was a bit tricky to find good, vegan food available on campus. As far as snack food went, it was basically Naked juice, Oreo’s or whatever fruit they had that was not drooping over yogurt cups. Even most of the pretzels available were made with honey 🙁 My recollection of the campus dining hall was that there were definitely veggie burger, salad options and soy milk in the cafes, but very little more. I understand that not THAT many are vegan, but it would be in their best interest to provide more non-meat options — it is often the more affordable option for schools, after all!
