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.

Mislabeling or non-labeling happens on a daily basis, but there are always local and fresh vegetables available. Homemade hummus is available always and there is tofu galore. Many times there are vegan options outside of the “grains” (all vegetarian) line.

It is ok but there are usually the same options everyday with little variety. I have also had some days where there are no vegan options at all and I had to improvise at the salad bar.

Pretty great. My only complaint is that they don’t label or mislabel food sometimes. And they should have more vegan desserts. 🙂
