Walla Walla U: A Best College for Vegetarians

Selective Walla Walla University, near (but not in) the lovely town of Walla Walla, Washington, has this nugget on the "about us" page of their website:

Health and well-being are another important aspect of our lifestyle principles. To promote a healthy diet, our campus dining room serves only vegetarian food and students are asked not to drink alcohol or use tobacco, and of course, other harmful drugs. To promote well-being, entertainment options focus on positive, uplifting events that bring students, faculty and staff together for social interaction.

This is more than a nod to vegetarians: Walla Walla U is a Seventh-Day Adventist school, and thus keeps a vegetarian diet in line with church teachings. See more on the SDA Vegetarian lifestyle here.

Food for (your college search) thought.

Hey, I'm an employee at WWU. Thought I'd stop by and see how you stumbled upon our website. And thanks for the proverbial "thumbs up." :o)

From the editor:

We actually stumbled upon WWU a couple years ago, and had wanted to comment on the name change awhile back...

But the vegetarian thing really got our attention when looking at the Seventh-Day Adventist info on your site.
