2. popcorners
Popcorners are my ultimate go-to dorm snack because they combine two very yummy snacks (popcorn and chips) into one delicious bag. My advice: buy the variety pack and keep them in the box for convenient storage.

3. hummus
Mini hummus cups are essential for any dorm room because they don’t take up much space in the fridge, come in so many flavors, and you can dip anything into them.

6. microwavable oatmeal
Another good microwavable option is oatmeal, which is perfect for those mornings when you’re running late and can’t make it to the dining hall for breakfast. It doesn’t have to be just for breakfast, microwave oatmeal is there for you any time, any day.
