Peanut Allergies and College

Nina's first year of college flew by! I can't believe she already had her last final of the year. Our experience with having a peanut allergy at college has been a positive one. She was able to eat on campus at their dining hall without any problems. Nina was able to view the menus ahead of time from their website and all allergens were clearly labeled for each item and selection at the dining hall.

Nina is attending a private college, so her classes are smaller in size. She had no problems at all with students eating any kind of peanut items around her. They were all very aware of her allergy and were careful around her.

I strongly believe that awareness is the key! I hope that more people with food allergies are able to have positive experiences while attending college.
