The three ideas below are a few of my favorite dorm-friendly meals. They are easy to make, and low cost too—perfect for college students.

Tristan Rathbun, Staff Writer March 29, 2022

It should be noted that the spice suggestions are low to accommodate milder tastes, but feel free to increase the measurements as needed.
