Or possibly outlets you could plug a hotplate(induction ones don't even get hot...they just heat the metal pan...so not even really a fire hazard unless you just leave it for hours...though they usually have shutdown timers these days....but i mean these are adults we're talking about here...), or a rice cooker or a microwave or an electric kettle into? There's lots of ways to make cheap easy food. I just don't understand you could be in college, have access to electricity and starve.... There are so many ways to cheaply feed yourself, even without a kitchen, that it seems like a self induced problem. If you can't afford the cafeteria food and you have no kitchen...how is the only other option just to starve???

When I went to school the dorms weren't wired for delivering that much amperage to every room. There were strict guidelines against high draw small appliances like hot plates and fridges.

  From the information I could find. A single hotplate draws as much power as a straightening iron, a portable heater, a toaster or a coffee maker. A mini fridge draws much less. A slow cooker, also a viable food preparation option, draws less than all of those even.
