Dried Fruits and Nuts
Dried fruits and nuts are the perfect foods for college students to have on hand. They make quick, healthy snacks and they can be thrown into all sorts of recipes, from trail mixes to salads. Also, if properly stored they can stay fresh for a long time, which means you'll always have some ready when you need them.
