D.Dickin, are you actually in university yet? Not all campus Tim Horton's are 24-hours. Lakehead's certainly aren't! The Tim's on campuses aren't run like typical Tim's, the ones at Lakehead are run by Aramark (who owns the food contract for the university) and I would imagine other universities' Tim's work the same way.

The Tim Hortons a minute off McGill's campus is definitely 24-hours.

It's not easy at BMH/RVC, although I have at least one friend who sneaked a plate out (for which she has my eternal respect). It was supposedly easy at the Diocesan-Pres caf this year, although come fall we are dining at RVC too. Btw, another friend sneaked out an entire disco ball from RVC's Thanksgiving (or was it Easter?) decorations. That was something.

As for the actual topic of this thread... Instant oatmeal is easy, and it at least has fiber and some nutrients (if you buy the nutrient-enriched kind), so if you don't object to eating sludge, there's an idea. My sister's been living primarily off of wholewheat bread with spaghetti sauce. Hardboiled eggs are full of nutrients, and if you have a fridge, they last a while; they're the least greasy egg option as well.

Really you guys, think healthy. Firstly, I love to make hummus, you take two cans of chickpeas, some oil, some dijon (substitute for tahini) some spices, mix it together and you've got a great spread for pitas or eat it as a dip. Also, don't forget salads! Essential and easy to make, just throw in everything. Also, you can go to your local super market and buy a whole cooked chicken for like, 6 bucks, and then just cut it all up and section it out and you have sandwhiches for the week. Don't forget as well, although it may be embarrassing, there are campus food banks that can help you out. EGGS! eggs are a great filler in everything and you can microwave them. soup can be microwaved too, there are endless possibilities and now with so many things being able to be microwaved right in their packages, it's much simpler. You guys should check out the kraft canada website for some ideas cos that saved me, and ALWAYS PLAN AHEAD! BUDGET AND PLAN YOUR MEALS FOR A WHOLE WEEK and maybe buy a 5 dollar readymade pizza for one of those nights you just can't bare to cook.

No. Even the ones that are open 24 hours it's often just the drive-thru, which doesn't do you any good if you don't have a car (tried that once..).

another option is to cook a big batch at a friend's apartment, and freeze it. Wow cool, a whole site dedicated to campus cooking. Seems great, will check out and maybe live off of. I don't like how the cafeterias don't let you take food back to dorms. >=( I mean, if I paid for the meal, why can't I take it and go?

Buy a rice cooker. My soph had one and she "cooked" kd and sidekicks in it. Obviously you can do rice too which is filling and cheap. You could just boil water in it too I guess, if you don't have a kettle. You can find some cheap rice cookers at Walmart. Sometimes all you might be craving is something hot. I can't count the times, where I've stayed up so late I'm not sure anyones up with nothing to eat so I just boil water and make tea (or just drink the water). It's not good to go to bed with a full stomach anyways.

They do let you take food back to dorms, it's just the utensils, plates, bowls and trays they don't want you to take. I've done that anyways tons of times. Just remember to (eventually) take them back, but rinse them if they'll be in your room for awhile. Or, just take things to go; they'll but in on paper plates, and you can put your salad in plastic containers (although not environmentally friendly).

Oh phew! Sounds great. I have bad work habits, I always get cravings when I study or.......just about anything. so I need a stash.
By the way, about the rice cooker idea, that is amazing that you bring it up because rice cookers really are versatile. What's even MORE versatile is the kind of rice cooker that uses steam (so it's double layered; you pour in water and it steams the stuff in the middle) because you can cook everything from fish to vegetables.
The more common electrical rice cookers can also bake bread =)

I checked out the website as well, there are some good idea but others are erm,....questionable at best. I mean, they have a step-by-step guide on how to make grilled cheese sandwiches with a clothing iron. It's not that I don't appreciate culinary creativity but you have to draw the line somewhere. http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/Campus-Cooking-the-Advanced-Course/Detail.aspx
