Advice:

1. If you might be gaining weight, then you really have to curb the late-night eating (2am pizza, etc) even when you are drunk.

2. Alcohol is a lot of empty calories, but it can be accomodated if it's important to you to go out a lot. It just means you'll REALLY need to get in your workouts most days of the week, and you'll really have to watch what you eat and not have many splurges.

3. Eat a healthy and small breakfast daily, at least during the week. Have whole grain cereal and milk, and fruit, for instance. Avoid big white bagels, or french toast sticks, or whatever other junk is being offered.

4. Eat lots of salad if the school has a good salad bar, but watch the dressing.

5. WORK OUT. This may make the differene between gaining and maintaining. Most schools have a free gym for students. Walking around campus may not be enough for many people, especially if they need to burn off calories from frequent partying.
