Application season is winding down (or gearing up if you're the procrastinating type), but for vegetarians and vegans still in high school, it might be interesting to take note of PETA's list of the most veg-friendly schools for 2006. The list of schools was generated by and voted on by visitors to PETA's website, most likely students from the various schools who wanted to promote the things that their campuses are doing to diversity their offerings. The only real drawback to the list is that it doesn't take into account the ease of being a vegetarian off-campus. If it did, odds are that Berkeley would top the list with its tremendous amount of vegetarian and vegan fare just seconds from campus and Indiana University, located in a state where the only vegetarian food at some restaurants is a wedge salad sans bacon and dressing, would be further down the rankings. As it stands, here are the most veg-friendly campuses in the US and Canada:
- Indiana University-Bloomington, Indiana
- Humboldt State University, California
- University of Puget Sound, Washington
- Yale University , Connecticut
- SUNY Purchase, New York
- Oberlin College, Ohio
- New York University, New York
- University of California-Berkeley, California
- University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania
- University of Florida, Florida
Canada
- McMaster University
- University of Victoria
- University of Waterloo
- Simon Fraser University
- Mount Allison University
