There are a lot of rumors and myths about college that aren't true. You don't have to know what you want to study when you step on campus your first year, many students will take more than four years to graduate, and you don't have to join greek life to be social. Unfortunately, though, there is one rumor that is pretty much true across all school campuses, no matter where you go: the dining halls leave a lot to be desired. Sorry, but prepare to live off the cereal bar and subpar taco Tuesday buffets for a bit. Plus, get ready to run into your crush, your ex, and every other person you know on campus every time you try to grab something to eat. Luckily, though, you have time to prepare, and to stock your room with some yummy snacks so that you can supplement the mystery meat lasagna and satisfy your late night craving without having to put on a bra. Here are 17 snacks to keep in your dorm so you will never go hungry during your four years.
1 Rice Cakes
OK, rice cakes may seem totally bland, but that's kind of the point. Spread whatever you want on them and they become a delicious receptacle for Nutella, avocado, you name it. Plus, they're super easy to store. They do get messy, however, so just make sure you have a mini vacuum on hand.
2 Almond Butter

$10.99
Speaking of things to spread on rice cakes, you may want to consider keeping a jar of almond (or peanut) butter around. Of course, make sure to check in with your roommate about allergies before bringing food into the room.
3 Hummus
Amazon Kitchen amazon.com
$3.99
If you can kill a whole tub of hummus in one sitting, you aren't alone. It's the perfect thing to put out when you have some friends over for a study sesh. Now, you just need some carrots, chips, or pretzels to dip into it.
4 Pretzels
Snyder's of Hanover amazon.com
$7.99
Did someone say pretzels? Dips these guys in hummus or just grab a handful while you're running out the door. Trust me, this tub won't last too long.
5 Popcorn
SkinnyPop amazon.com
$30.99
I can't be the only one who needs to be constantly snacking on something when I study. That's why popcorn is such a go-to study snack, it seemingly never runs out, and you can eat tons of it without feeling sick. Trust me, you're going to want to stock up on this one.
6 Ramen
Maruchan amazon.com
$13.57
Can you even have a list of college snacks without including ramen? I mean it's a classic for a reason. Whether you're hungry after a late night out, or you can't bear to think about eating dining hall food for a fifth night in a row, ramen is always here for you.
7 Cereal
Kellogg's amazon.com
$24.48
Yes, your dining hall may have a good cereal selection, but sometimes you don't want to see everyone you know just to get a bowl of Apple Jacks. So, it's always smart to keep a good selection of cereals in your dorm room (and milk in your fridge).
8 Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans
Trader Joe's amazon.com
$13.97
A snack that satisfies my sweet tooth and keeps me going during a long night of studying? Yes please!
9 Yogurt
OK, I have to include a few healthy options here to appease the parents, but trust me, you'll be happy to have a yogurt to grab when you're late to your 9 AM class and you feel like you haven't eaten in days.
10 Granola

$12.12
Not a fan of plain yogurt? Throw some granola on there for a touch of crunch (I recommend some berries as well).
11 Oatmeal
365 by Whole Foods Market amazon.com
$2.99
While we're talking breakfast, let's give a shoutout to oatmeal. If you know you have time management issues in the morning, put a bowl of oatmeal and milk in your fridge overnight so that it's ready to go the second you wake up.
12 Trail Mix
Keep a few of these in your backpack for those days when you have classes straight through lunch.
13 Pistachios
Wonderful Pistachios amazon.com
$21.55
If you prefer one specific nut over a combination of many, make sure to stock up on your favorite for a healthy mid-day snack.
14 Mac & Cheese
Some days, you just need a cheesy pick-me-up and that's exactly what Easy Mac is for. Pop one of these packs in your dorm microwave and enjoy.
15 Protein Bars
Protein bars are another great snack to always have on hand. You never know when you're going to find yourself in the library for an all-night study sesh, so make sure to always keep a few of these in your backpack too.
16 Seaweed Snacks
If you're not on seaweed snacks, get on them! These things are so good, you'll be munching on them all the time. Plus, they have a ton of health benefits since, like seaweed, they're packed with vitamin and minerals.
17 Ice Cream
JENIS SPLENDID ICE CREAMS amazon.com
$8.99
It wouldn't be a true college snacks list without a pint of ice cream. Keep one (or two) of these in your freezer. You know you'll crave it eventually and it will save you a late night run to the student center to pick one up.
