Being Vegetarian on Campus

Being Vegetarian on Campus Hey everyone, As a vegetarian on campus, I thought I would write about what that’s like here and let future campus vegetarians know of the best places to find food. My first week on campus was pretty rough food wise;  I ate a lot of ramen and cereal. I currently live in Illinois Street Residence in Wardall Hall, and while the dining hall is great,  the vegetarian options are very limited. I usually walk over to the Lincoln Avenue Residence Hall to eat at their dining hall because they have really good vegetarian options at every meal.  Another good dining hall for vegetarians is  the Ikenberry dining hall, because they also have good vegetarian and vegan food options. I think part of being vegetarian on campus is  finding out which dining halls have the best options for you personally, and finding the closest dining hall to you for times you have to study or you just dont feel like traveling to eat.  I would also suggest that you use your food credits to buy cereal, milk, ramen, or soup as a backup so if the dining in your residence hall doesnt  have the vegetarian options you want on a given day, you can still eat a meal. Another  option is to go  out to eat. There are vegetarian choices  outside of the residence halls, such as the Red Herring (a vegetarian restaurant) and Merry Ann’s Diner. Thanks guys, and happy eating on campus!
