Georgia College is a small liberal arts college located in
\nMilledgeville, Georgia. As to be expected in an area where even the
\nhealthiest of foods are drenched in butter, I have known Georgia
\nCollege’s dining hall to do much of the same. While the dining hall and
\nsurrounding restaurants on or near the campus can be very vegetarian
\nfriendly, it can leave a vegan wondering if there are any vegan options
\nthat can be created. Fortunately with a little creativity, eating on
\ncampus can be not only possible, but filling as well.<\/p>\n

\nare few but I’m happy to have found that it has expanded since my
\nfreshman year of attendance. What’s even more convenient is that now,
\nstudents can visit https:\/\/georgiacollege.sodexomyway.com<\/a> and not only
\nview the menu for the upcoming week, but the menu also specifically
\nlabels vegetarian options with a \u201cV\u201d and vegan options with a \u201cVG.\u201d <\/p>\n
\ncan build a sandwich like at Subway, entr\u00e9es that would be considered a
\ncomforting home cooked meal, the grill for a typical burger with fries,
\ninternational where they serve cuisines from different cultures and
\ncountries from day to day, daily pizza and pasta, and then a salad bar
\nwith a daily soup. Not much of the menu is labeled vegan, but often the
\nentr\u00e9e section will have sides like summer squash or steamed brown rice.
\nAt the bottom of each day’s menu, there’s a small entirely
\nvegetarian\/vegan section that usually showcases dishes with lentils or
\nwheat berries and also hummus, potato dishes, and other vegetable
\nmedleys. Of course, you can go to the salad bar as well. It has typical
\ntoppings that you might find at any buffet salad bar. Vegan students can
\nfill up on steamed veggies, different grain and bean mixes, and salads.
\nIt might not be as exciting as a meal you can make at home, but the
\nvegan options actually can be built into a meal of whole vegan foods
\nthat will help you get through the day.<\/p>\n
\nprovides a few restaurants: Chick-fil-A, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Subway,
\nand Books and Brew. Of course with eating out it\u2019s hard to be sure of
\nevery ingredient and condition the food was cooked in, so you\u2019ll have to
\ndecide for yourself if you\u2019re comfortable eating there or not. <\/p>\n
\nsnacks are available for purchase such as Miss Vickie’s kettle chips and
\nLay’s chips. You just have to check the labels to make sure there are no
\nanimal products, but the plain flavors I\u2019ve had were fine. There are
\nalso fruit cups and juices. At Chick-fil-A, students can grab some fries
\nas a snack and head over to Subway and create a veggie delight sandwich
\nor salad. At Subway, you can pile on veggies and avocado to create a
\nfilling meal. One of my favorite treats in the morning was to go to
\nEinstein’s and get a cinnamon raisin bagel with peanut butter or you can
\nchoose from hummus and fruit preserves and any of the other bagels
\nwithout milk, honey, or dairy. A quick internet search will tell you
\nwhat you can choose from. Books and Brew was also a favorite morning
\nstop of mine. They have a great selection of Tazo brand teas and you can
\neven make it into a latte with soy milk. They also have fruit and chips
\non sale as well as pb&j sandwiches.<\/p>\n
\narea that’s located right next to the main campus. Just across the
\nstreet you will find Barberitos where I have purchased many of my
\nlunches throughout my college career. For a vegan, any place designed to
\nbuild your own meal is a life saver. You can build a burrito, burrito
\nbowl, salad, tacos, or just get some chips and salsa. They have brown
\nand white rice, black and pinto beans labeled vegan friendly on the
\nsite, tofu, various veggies, salsa, and guacamole. I spoke with a
\nBarberitos representative hoping to confirm that the beans are vegan and
\nshe said that they were and are cooked in water, salt, and spices. One
\nother surprising gem was the campus bookstore which offers plenty of
\nvegan labeled snack bars, cookies, chips, and drinks.<\/p>\n
\nto be vegan for the few years I lived on this campus. Vegan meals aren’t
\nspecifically showcased, but they are definitely accessible when you look
\ninto what’s actually offered, even if you have to piece a meal together.
\nSnacks are also available for when you bring your own meal but need
\nsomething extra. I had no issue keeping it vegan, even in a small
\nsouthern town.<\/p>\n
