Here is one tip of when I lived in the dorms...you know those single pan microwave pizza? The ones with the silver disc on them to sit the pizza on? Save those. This isn't a cooking tip per say, but a leftover tip. You'll notice that if you were to put leftover fries in a microwave they'd turn all soggy...well next time put them on top of one of those discs and they'll come out crispy...works for a few other things as well...if you don't want something to be chewy or limp out of the microwave.
Definitely the staple foods of the dorm are ramen/cup'o noodles, canned soups and foods, tuna, coldcuts, bread, cereal microwavable anything. That's what I would live off when I didn't go to the dining hall anyway.
I also agree you should get a a Foremen grill no one will know unless you burn the dorm down, but that can happen with even the toaster you have. Find someone who has a stove and cook there and refrigerate your stuff like blade said and I also agree with his cheese statment...cheese does seem to make the microwave stuff taste a lot better. Which reminds me...you can make quesadillas in the microwave and use my little silver disc method they come out better. You can even add a few shreds of ham or something to your quesadilla and get yourself a nice salsa. That was one of my favorites when I needed something quick.
