Gluten-Free Reviews of College Dining Services

For students who require a gluten-free diet, the campus dining services require more than a stop for lunch after the official tour on a college visit. There's now a great new resource for such students to help them determine whether they can get the support they need. GlutenFreeTravelSite.com has published Gluten-Free Reviews of College Dining Services. Colleges appearing on the site must have either been reviewed by a student or parent or have been trained through the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness’s GREAT Kitchens Program, a designation that has been earned by such schools as University of Chicago, Drexel University and Emory University. The reviews offer detailed information on the services, flexibility and helpfulness of campus dining services. Apparently, some colleges rise to the occasion, some do not. This is a great resource for students, both during college visits and in considering where they may attend school.

Additional resources listed on the site include publications from the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, including a Gluten-Free Guide to College Living;  as well as tip sheets and downloads such as Celiacs and College: Tips for Parents and Prospective Students, which can be accessed here.
