Drum roll please. [Insert mad cheering, and FYI, this cheering is going to last until the end.] Here are the winners of peta2′s Most Vegan-Friendly College Contest for 2011:
In the category of large U.S. schools, the University of California–Santa Cruz took first place, followed by the University of Florida, the University of California–Irvine, Ohio University, the University of California–Los Angeles, Cornell University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Illinois, the University of California–Berkeley, and the University of Colorado–Boulder, with honorable mentions going to the University of North Texas and the University of Pennsylvania.
In the small-schools category, Northwestern University came out on top, followed by Brandeis University, Georgetown University, Brown University, Bennington College, the University of Rochester, the University of Puget Sound, Bradley University, Wesleyan University, and American University, with honorable mentions going to Oberlin College, Bastyr University, and Rhode Island School of Design.
Whew, what a list of awesomeness!
This was our toughest competition yet, with so many amazing yumz like vegan Mexican tofu Benedict, country-fried seitan steak with vegan mashed potatoes, tofu French toast, and vegan pumpkin cheesecake.
Are you lost on a campus in which such food is only a drool-filled daydream? If so, bring on the “Veganize Your Cafeteria” campaign! We want to see your school in our list next year!
[Cheering stays strong for several minutes and then slowly fades out.]

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
