Some places are netter than others, but I work at a large university and I can't imagine trying to eat every meal in the dining halls. Even with items that are supposed to be gluten-free, not only do you have to worry about CC, but sometimes they run out of an ingredient and have to make an adjustment mid-meal. A smaller place that's willing to work with you might be better.

My son said Colorado State dorm was very good about gluten-free food. At the deli sandwich line - off with the gloves, hands washed, a purple "tray" comes out, then the wrapper paper, then the gluten-free bread and toppings from a special place. gluten-free food on the line is not mixed up with other food or utensils. Many packaged gluten-free snacks that everyone can eat - fruit snacks, chips, etc. Everyone can have the main foods labelled gluten-free. The flourless choc cake is a favorite for everyone.

He talked with several girls getting gluten-free food. All told him they never got sick from it. So a good gluten-free food program may be a way to meet girls, too!
