It's hard to believe that a college wouldn't offer any kind of healthy food for their students. I'm sure there's some stuff that's healthy. As for beer, I drink ALOT more than your average person. Always lite beer and with moderate exercise, weight is never gained.

We have pizza and hamburgers everyday then random shit. I guess a sandwich and fruit would be fairly healthy though.

it's all about moderation.

have one piece of pizza and a salad. Eat a hamburger without the bun and no cheese. Don't nibble on a salad and stare at your friends while they chow down. Eat 5 servings of veggies a day - don't forget about fruit. it's about balancing your diet. Moderation. Self control. Burning more calories than you take in. Feeding your body good nutrition, providing it the energy so you CAN move more.
Common sense.

I've gone from 300+ pounds to 200 pounds and competing in triathalons. I'm running a half marathon on Sunday. I still eat chocolate, occassionally pizza, and fast food every now and then. but mostly in moderation. and always balanced with exercise.

tracking what you eat will be VERY enlightening. www.fitday.com is a great starting point for that. you can enter your workouts there too and it will do the math for you in relation to calories.
But you have to find what works for you. Only you know what you're willing to sacrifice.
And good luck - it's not easy!
