    The main reason why people gain weight in college is the massive amount calories consumed via drinking alcohol. Also, the late night munchies as a result of drinking (among other things) can add even more calories to your day. So, try to limit this behavior as best as you can.

    Other than that, just do what you've been doing. Log everything in MFP, work out, etc.

    I would like to add that college is an opportunity to learn so much inside and outside of the classroom. Most importantly, you learn a lot about yourself. It is also damn fun! So don't let counting calories or measuring out food interfere too much with the college lifestyle. The main point to remember is to not get out of control (see first paragraph).

    All I can say is that the food on campus sucks major balls. I have classes from 8 to 4 or 5 most days so avoiding eating there is kinda hard. I will probably start packing a healthier lunch. The fact that all my classes are in opposite parts of campus and that i literally have to run to get there in time (10 minutes between classes) is probably going to help.

    And i plan on using the fitness facility. A lot. My university also has all kinds of activities like boot camp, yoga, swimming etc. You could check and see if you find something you like.
