More Veggies Please – Vegetarian/Vegan Dining

You Really Do Want To Eat More Veggies!

The UGA dining halls love veggies and do a fabulous job of catering to all dietary restrictions by providing a vegetarian/vegan line in every single dining hall on campus. These have rotating dishes, for each meal of the day. They have daily vegan options and daily vegetarian options. The main goal of the dining halls is to make sure each student with a meal plan has dietary options. UGA prides itself on the fact that 35% of all dining hall options are meatless. There are also options for parents to provide recipes from home to the dining halls, and those will be incorporated into the dining hall rotations on specific dates.
