Default Eating right while at school?

Not sure if this is the right section so if it isn't just move it but I figured I put it in here since this forum gets the most attention. Or just merge it will my goals thread in here.

Now that I'm back at school where I have limited food choices (dorm food) I'm finding it hard to stay with my old eating habits that I had during the summer when I was eating healthy, drinking a lot of water, etc.

Basically my options are like this:

For breakfast there's pastries like muffins, scones, etc. There's also breakfast burrittos, bagel sandwiches, or just plain eggs and sausage.

For lunch there's salads, soup (clam chowder/veggy), sandwiches (chicken on roll, turkey, "italian" and grilled cheese) and then there are a bunch of stuff like chips/yogurt/gold fish, etc. to go along with it.

Dinner options are basically the same as lunch except they have hamburgers/hot dogs/chicken burgers also.

Since I'm living in the dorms it's hard for me to make my own food as we're not allowed microwaves/george foreman grills, etc. so the only thing I have in my room to eat is some NutriGrain bars and Nature Valley oat bars along with my fridge where I keep water/Propel.

My question is what suggestions do you guys have about trying to eat a healthy diet with what I've said my options are. I've only been drinking water/Propel/Vitamin water occasionally so now I just need to figure out what food I can eat without going overboard.
