Winners for peta2's Most Vegetarian-Friendly Colleges 2007!
More than 10,000 people came to our site to check out the nominees for the most vegetarian-friendly colleges, and we're happy to announce that the results are in! Thanks to the hard work of students pushing for better vegetarian and vegan options, and efforts by the school dining halls, thousands of animals will be spared from being crammed into tiny cages and having their throats slit while they're still conscious. That's great news for animals and for students, who can now enjoy all the healthy and humane dishes that these schools have to offer. Congrats to all!
 | #1 Northwestern University Fueled by fabulous articles in the Chicago Tribune and The Daily Northwestern, NU was able to bring in a tremendous amount of votes for its wide range of delicious and cruelty-free dishes, which include veggie riblets, vegan pancakes, and veggie chicken pitas. It sure is a great time to be vegetarian in Chicago! |
 | #2 Yale University After placing fourth last year, Yale has continued its rise to the top, powered by some of the best vegan food in the Northeast. With tasty options like black-bean burgers, curried sweet potatoes, and Indonesian noodle dishes, Yale has lots to brag about! |
 | #3 University of California-Berkeley Moving all the way up from eighth place last year, the spirit of Berkeley has once again risen to the occasion. With an extensive selection of vegan dishes, including Southwest soy crumble and tofu scramble; black bean, potato, and Field Roast "sausage" hash; and vegan chicken nuggets, it's no wonder that the students have so much energy at their legendary social justice rallies. |
 | #4 Humboldt State University Nestled up in the Redwood Forest, HSU has proved once again that it can easily keep up with the big cities when it comes to vegan dining. Because the school offers delicious and healthy dishes like vegan sweet and sour tempeh, sautéed portobello over polenta, and veggie dogs, these students never have to worry about gaining that pesky "freshman 15"! |
 | #5 University of Puget Sound After earning a spot on last year's list, UPS returns again this year with some amazing options. Menu highlights include BBQ riblets on French rolls, vegan cheeseburgers, and herb-encrusted cutlets with marinara sauce. These dishes will brighten even the rainiest day up in the Northwest! |
 | #6 Brown University It shouldn't come as any surprise that a college that boasts its own Environmental Action Network takes the sustainability of its dining halls seriously. Students rave about the spicy vegetarian dal and the veggie chili and nachos, not to mention the vegan hot dogs. What can we say? Smart people like delicious food. |
 | #7 Indiana University After taking the top prize last year, IU came back strong this year with some impressive choices. Some of the dishes that students ranked highly include applesauce pound cake, Creole gumbo soup, and sesame-noodle and pea-pod casserole. Mmm, mmm! |
 | #8 Boston University In a city with more than 100 colleges and universities, standing out among the crowd isn't always easy. One sure way to please the student population, though, is to offer amazing dining options, including soy tacos, vegan mac 'n' cheese, and vegan sorbet. BU student Meera Kanabar told the Daily Free Press, "Last time I had the vegan lasagna with my boyfriend, he had five servings—and he's not even vegan." |
 | #9 Georgetown University After working with the Veg Advantage program to expand its vegetarian and vegan options, Georgetown has made some of the most significant strides of any university in the country. Students rave about the school's vegan wild mushroom and barley ragout, tofu stir-fry with orange-ginger sauce, and vegan rosemary polenta with broccoli rabe. |
 | #10 University of Florida Led by one of the most active student groups in the country, the Animal Activists of Alachua, UF has shown that vegan options like black-bean burgers, risotto, and Thai curry tofu may soon overtake Gator football games as the most talked-about item on campus! |
