Let's face it: if you're a college student living in the dorms [1], sometimes you just need a break from the dining hall. But chances are you are also on a budget and want to avoid ordering takeout as much as you can. Luckily, there are plenty of healthy meal and snack options you can prepare in your dorm room, even without a kitchen. You might need a toaster oven or a microwave for some of these recipes, but we've got you covered with 28 options, from sandwiches [2] and wraps to salads and desserts. And did we mention breakfast? We have many options for the first meal of the day.
