University of California: Los Angeles Allergy-Friendly College Campus Guide
Hi! I’m Yashvi and I attended UCLA in Los Angeles, CA. I graduated in 2024 and was a Psychobiology major! Currently, I am working at a clinic and plan to apply to medical school soon. While I did have several reactions while at UCLA, I found ways to eat safely on and around campus. I manage nut and sesame allergies while being vegan and have shared 29 reviews on the Spokin app. Follow me on Spokin, Instagram, and Substack @yashveats!
