Is there a difference between the kosher food options at different colleges?

The availability of kosher food on campus is very varied. Some campuses have a full kosher meal plan – 3 meals a day, 7 days a week – and/or are located near an Orthodox community with access to kosher restaurants and kosher groceries. Others may only have a partial meal plan or frozen meals available. And some campuses may have no kosher food, and you may need to bring kosher food to campus with you, or rely on cereal and milk and what you can find in the local supermarket. If you don’t want to be stuck shipping in food or eating inedible food, it’s important to know what the kosher options are (and how tasty they are) around campus before you choose your school. First read the article “The In’s and Out’s of Meal Plans,” which tells you everything you need to know about the different types of meal plans. Then speak with Jewish professionals or other people at the colleges you are considering. Many of the most popular colleges for Orthodox yeshiva high school graduates also have an OU-JLIC couple you can contact today for more information or help on this.
