have you ever attended a college or university?

Question

Did you find many veggie options on campus? (I am not referring to salads, btw).

At my university campus, we have literally FIVE items. On the WHOLE campus, only five entree-type vegetarian items.

Answer 1

yea some little dorky one in east bum hole

Answer 2

I think that most colleges kind of look at the makeup of their student body and then determine how many veggie items they think they need to offer. For example, my college has a whole lot of Indian students, many of whom are vegetarian, so the veggie selection at my school is much better than where my brother is going.

It sounds like you might be a vegetarian in an omnivourous campus. My best advice would be to try to locate some cheap local restaurants that might have a better selection, or make your own food. Taco Bell is usually pretty good about altering their stuff to make it vegetarian-friendly if you ask (ex. beans instead of meat, etc.). Good luck!

Answer 3

I went to a college that was very "granola" as we called it back then. Over 1/3 of the cafeteria was devoted to veggie/vegan. I just read my alma mater's quarterly report today. They've gone from 400 food options to over 4000. The food though kind of sucked whether it was veggie or not. But that's what you get with a Marriott/Sodexho food service.

Answer 4

I'm not in college yet but seeing as I'll be living very far from home and vegetarian labeling =[ I'm gonna pick one of these colleges that Peta2 recommended:
Indiana University-Bloomington,
Humboldt State University, University of Puget Sound, Yale University (Prob wont be that one lol), SUNY Purchase, Oberlin College, New York University, University of California-Berkeley
University of Pennsylvania, University of Florida

Answer 5

I think you should ask to speak to someone at the college in charge of food purchases and let them know. Many college students are going vegetarian or vegan. It might help if you had some friends from school go with you and show that it isn't just 1 person.

Answer 6

Not nearly enough. There's a nice vegetarian chili but it's only available a couple days a week. An occasional tofu dish. Steamed veggies. A couple other things.

Answer 7

Absolutely nothing on my campus expect for the wonderfully boring Subway veggie sub.

Answer 8

Sounds like you need to veganize your campus! See this PDF for everything you need: http://www.peta2.com/TAKECHARGE/pdf/VEGcafeteria300.pdf

I went to University of Michigan and had to shop at Whole Foods a lot because there weren't many options for vegetarians or vegans.

Answer 9

I'm about to enter my junior year at Berkeley. Thankfully, we don't have that problem lol. I gained weight my first year, even after becoming vegan, because of all the wonderful food both on campus and off.

Answer 10

on a similar time as there are various conventions and "norms" in our society, there are actually not any "rules". enable me initiate by ability of asserting, in case you % to bypass to college, then bypass to college. Now a tale: while i began college at 18, I met a guy (Jerry) in my freshman chemistry classification. Jerry replaced into 28 on the time. i replaced into like, "dude, what's up?". He advised me that he'd worked for 10 years and found out he wasn't going to get everywhere. He saved up some dough, and went to college. the subsequent time I observed Jerry, we shared a classification senior year. no longer basically replaced into he graduating, the dude replaced into going for a phD. My element is, you may desire to make your guy or woman strikes on your guy or woman time. college isn't for everybody. it truly is a disgrace we are taught that it is the only thank you to have a existence. college is likewise no longer constantly terrific for 18 year olds. each each now and then we % a flavor of the "actual international" in the previous we are able to calm down and concentration. i do no longer think of you will possibly have any issues going to college at 25. you may discover a number of your friends immature, however the journey would be what you're making of it. i assume you will be "out of shape" in terms of examining, yet you will get decrease back right into a groove in case you incredibly need it. stable success.

Answer 11

I lived in dorms in grad school and the veggie choices were few and not terribly tasty. The worst was lentil loaf.
give me a big hunk of greasy meatloaf over that any day
