It’s one of the most classic complaints of Dorm Life: the food. Cafeteria food is something you may just have to learn to stomach, unless you want to whittle your work study dollars away ordering pizza every night. (And yes, your roommate is going to notice that their snack stash is getting low.)

Most dorms have strict limits on the types of appliances/electronics you’re allowed to have in your dorm room. If you keep your dorm fridge nicely stocked with veggies and salad dressings, you’ve got a quick and healthy meal ready. A hot pot can be great for coffee or hot cocoa on a chilly winter night – but can also whip up a speedy batch of ramen noodles for an extra burst of study energy! Your dorm may have a shared kitchen with the basics: oven, stovetop, and microwave. Getting in there once a week and cooking up a big batch of soup, stir fry, or even macaroni and cheese can help you make it through some cafeteria “lean times.”
Having good tools available for your kitchen adventures is also a necessity. A good fry pan or wok, pot, spatula, colander, and sharp knife will get you far.
…Just think about how good your next home-cooked meal will taste. Enjoy it while you have it!
