<p>I really enjoy cooking. I also have food allergies (gluten, corn, rice, all other grains, and dairy), so I know my options in the cafeteria will be limited. I'm worried that I won't have enough time to cook for myself. Also, if I do, I'm worried that I will miss out on the social aspect of going to the dining hall. Does anyone have experience with doing a lot of cooking for themselves in the dorm? Thanks!! :)</p>
<p>I would cook for myself when I could. But due to time and resource (ingredient) constraints, it would usually be super simple stuff like boil noodles and throw Ragu on them.</p>
<p>Maybe some others in your dorm will also share your love of cooking. Turn it into a social occasion!</p>
<p>You’ll generally have enough time to cook unless it’s an incredibly elaborate meal.</p>
<p>If your dorm has a kitchen, you shouldn’t have a problem. I really enjoyed cooking in my (tiny and limited) dorm room kitchenette:)</p>
<p>I have to cook for myself. I was eating tons of gluten and milk, but i got heavy ucus build-up. so now my diet is rice, beans, and like 1/2 a jar of adams crunchy peanut butter… oh, and some orange juice. </p>
<p>I live in some off campus student housing (only for upper classmen)… so there is no ining hall.</p>
<p>You NEED to contact your schools disability office and inform them of this. They will help you get meals from your school dining hall that you can have.</p>
<p>(i should know, i have celiac disease (no gluten whatsoever), and an allergy towards tomatos)</p>
<p>Are you talking to me? I’m not allergic to anything whatsoever. The mucus buildup from all that milk just prompted me to change my diet. Dairy causes mucus in all humans; it is not lactose intolerance.</p>
<p>But of course, you mean the OP.</p>
<p>Sophomore year at U of Michigan, I was in a 4 person suite, with a kitchen/small common living area and 2 bedrooms. I cooked every day, other 3 rarely cooked. There were not a lot of these suites, and upperclassmen always lived in them.</p>
