Best dorm food for a college freshman with a fridge but no car?

As a mom, I'll try to focus on healthy choices.  \n\nAll the stuff others have suggested, especially peanut butter, cereals, macaroni products, good whole grain bread and bagels and sandwich fixings.    Also milk, cheese, mixtures of nuts and dried fruit, different kinds of crackers, pre-cooked frozen sliced chicken breast, the pre-washed packages of salads (you can make a great chicken Caesar with the chicken breast I mentioned and these packages), frozen juice, bananas, oranges and apples.  Most large supermarkets have excellent deli sections where you can get ready to eat salads, BBQ chicken, roasts, etc. at very reasonable prices - cheaper actually than fast food takeout.\n\nIf you can invest in (or are allowed to have them in your dorm room) a toaster, a microwave, a rice steamer, and/or a soup warmer (like a small kettle) your possiblities will be even greater.\n\nAlso try to find a bulk food store near your campus - you know, the ones where everything is in big bins and you buy only as much as you want.  You will get much better deals and be able to buy food cheaply in smaller quantities.\n\nGood luck with your freshman year!! Enjoy your culinary escapades!!

I'll give you some facts on college life, as an expert because I live in a dorm at my university for two years now. \n1. Students who live in dorms are most gauranteed to gain the 'first 15' which is 15 pounds gained from poor eating habits. Most students order pizza, and drink pop and raid the vending machines and snack lines all day..or in my case my room mates cook bacon at 4 am!\n\n2. Living with a bunch of students can be hard, not evertyone may be as 'clean' or as 'relaxed about cleaning' as you, and others might not respect personal property..I.E (which makes me furious) using my utensils..eating my food..etc\n\n3. When you live on campus the chances of you going to class are minimal . Everyone in my dorm and I mean everyone sleeps in..Half of my dorm failed and their parents yanked them out of the dorms and brought them back home next year.\n\n4. The social life can make or break you. There are alot of parties to attend, groups clubs to join..scheduling this all in 24/7 with school work an be hard.\n\ni would suggest instead join a group at school so you can still live at home but go on outings and participate in the fuctions they hold around school. my school has club week you can join cultural clubs, cooking clubs, clubs related to your program of study etc... \ntake advantage of the facilities at school instead of locking yourself up in your room, study at the library, use the gym facilities..or better yet get a job on campus. \n\nlast but not least, changing some of your eating habits or getting drinks that boost energy like fruit drinks with "alfala or grass" will help give you some get up and go.. You have to motivate yourself.. get a 4 month calender hang it in plain sight and fill it with a bunch of things to do outside your room to keep yourself busy always..\n\nGood luck!!

Typically a university will provide the following furniture:\n\n*Bed\n*Mattress\n*Dresser\n*Desk\n*Hutch with light above desk\n\nSome things that should be asked about include:\n\n*Refrigerator\n*Microwave\n\nMost people will bring:\n\n*Couch\n*Fouton\n\nI worked in University Housing for 2 years in the state of North Carolina.  (Specifically NCSU).  \n\nMost housing websites will provide you with pictures of the room and a list of what to and not to bring with you.

You can really get full off of chicken, boiled or baked. Lots of fruit will fill you up. Try having an orange, grapes, and an apple in one serving. Instead of using bread, wrap the chicken in a big piece of lettuce, and cut up some green bell peppers/cucumbers/tomatoes and throw em  inside w/ the chicken. wrap like a lil borrito or something.\nand if that doesnt fill you up have some rice on the side. \nEven though there is no microwave wrap everything tightly in foil(i.e the chicken) and get a lunch bag that will keep food @ same temp.

First...you need to stock your fridge with healthy foods...Fruit juices, no fat yogurts, fruits and vegitables, pita breads and salsa...the list goes on.  snack on theses throughout the day. then have a small dinner.   that's how i do it.

Eat small meals every 3-4 hours.\nI eat the following every day;\n\nApple for breakfast\nBananna 3 hours later\nSalad 3 hours later\nCanned white chicken breast meat in water, drain the water\n3 hours later\nWhole, natural almonds 3 hours later\nSmall can of green beans 3 hours later\n95% of what they sell in the stores I no longer eat.\nAll that I eat digest very slowly and I get all the food I need by eating small meals every 3 hours.\n\nHope this helps. Good luck with college.

Atkins or other low-carb plan.\n\nMaybe not the fastest, but for me it's the easiest and I don't have to go hungry.

Yes I do. I would have preferred that option when I was in school anyday. You can bring a nice warm meal, soups, leftovers. Healthier than potatoe chips and a twinkie!!

Perhaps you mean cafeteria? If so it would usually refer to a food service which is usually run by a school or other institution, as a service to people who cannot leave the area to eat.\nCafeterias are now frequently run by outside food service companies who pay a fee to operate on campus. These companies often work at several locations in one area and can combine food purchases, management and personel in order to be more cost effective than a service run by the university. \nRefering to your other questions about the same subject:\nMany college dorm rooms forbid cooking in the rooms (for safety and health reasons) and students eat at cafeterias or fast food places near campus to get food they can not prepare in a dormatory.\nAt other times it just seems easier to let someone else cook.  Many of the students have never had to organize thier meals before.

Something with carbs to help fuel your brain's glucose level, something with protein for longer burning fuel, something with a little fat to keep you from feeling too hungry in the middle of the morning. So that could be whole-grain cereal with 2 percent milk and some fruit. Or two scrambled eggs and some fruit juice. Or why stick with typical breakfast food? How about a slice of leftover pizza? Just avoid sugared cereal (including those awful cereal bars and granola bars), pastries and things like that. They may give you a quick boost of energy, but you'll be dragging before long.
