Well I was a vegie at 18. I trained heaps and ate all day. And usually once (1/3 to 1/2 ltr milk) in the middle of the night... I'd wake up hungy.
Eventually my bodyfat became ~4% and got tired of food. Had no energy, and no interest in more lentils, eggs, etc.
So then I added more simple carbs. Chocalate. Milkshakes. Meat.
As somebody said, given your age your metabolism will be fast. Avoid cardio I reckon - unless it's part of your particular favourite sport (you might be a competivie runner for all I know).
Get some protein powder. Eating on a college budget can be hard. Powdered egg white and soy blends can be cheap. If money is no object you can try the "see it eat it" diet. That's what I did. To mimic the catchcry of the water fanatics... by the time I was hungry it was too late.
In my experience, I simply couldn't eat enough between 18-22 to keep up with my food usage. Period. But you'll have to be careful, it's harder to loose weight when your older and working 9-5 (5... who finishes at 5?). Or if you have an injury.
