University of Connecticut: UConn is privately run and was one of the first to ensure they had fully gluten-free kitchens (preparation and served)

I attended a counselor tour at Villanova last year where they had us meet with the Director of Dining Services -- that was a first! He is a responsive fellow who told us stories of working with students and parents on individual and unique dietary needs. It is their own food service program and it was all very impressive. Check out this dietary tool on their website: http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/services/dining/menus.html

Gettysburg College: has their own kitchen with no outside vendor

Green Mountain College

Colgate University: Uses Chartwells

Warren Wilson College: Independent kitchen

University of Montana

Montana State University

RIT has a designated area of foods free of the "Top 8" (major allergens). It's a well-stocked and beautifully presented area. In their other dining spaces, any staff member is willing to custom make anything for a student to meet their dietary needs.

Lehigh has a special area with a designated staff member to custom make food and maintains a stocked with non-dairy milk options and other allergy-friendly foods

George Washington has dorms with kitchens--note that a shared kitchen would not be acceptable for someone who is affected by cross-contamination
