Hi,
Does anyone know if State College, PA is a very vegan friendly town?
I'm going Penn State to start my Ph.D. in geology this fall, and would
like to know what I can expect. It is a pretty big school, in a
relatively small town, so I'd imagine there should be some places to
eat, and some organic/co-op type stores there. Thanks!

If there are Krogers there, then go in and see if you can find the "Nature's
Market" or whatever they call it over there. They have a health food section
with various vegetarian type stuff in it. I found a vegan chili mix that I
got, tried, and liked, and I also saw Ener-G egg replacer and a selection of
different nut butters. They have Amy's Kitchen frozen dinners, etc. There
was lots of other stuff in that little section too, much of it vegan, so you
could check that out if they've also put that in the Krogers up there.

I hope that helps.

I'm not sure about State College. I'm in Pittsburgh. While I don't think
that Western PA is exceptionally vegetarian/vegan friendly, you can find a
lot of options if you're willing to dig a little. Things may tend to get a
bit more veg friendly the further east you go (i.e., closer to
Philadelphia). Philadelphia (Eastern PA) is much more veg friendly, IMO.
Since State College is east of Pittsburgh, you might be okay. You may be
able to get more specific information from the State College branch of the
