Did you lose/gain weight while in college?

So two months into my college quarter, living in my own (shared) apt..I've managed to cook for myself and survive off of it all, but have lost about 8 pounds in the process. This is while spending about $60 on groceries each week, full of good quick frozen stuff, knowing our pizza guy on a first name basis..and even occasionally going to our school's dining halls and eating 5-6 plates a visit.

All the while my gym time has been reduced from 3-4 times a week to about 1-2 times a week max. The only other excercise I ever get comes from biking to and from class..going to class is usually just a good 5 minute ride of mostly downhill riding, and going back home is mostly up steep hills which is pretty intense..but is never more than a 10 minute ride.

What were your experiences away from home? And what can I do to get these pounds back? confused;
 
Freshman year of college - 144lbs. Graduation - 178lbs. All muscle though. I was up to 188 exactly a year ago but I finally started hitting the cardio like I should have earlier this year so I dropped 10lbs.

I recently found a picture of me posing after my high school graduation. Turns out after my college graduation I also took a picture in almost the exact same spot/angle. Although the gown is in the way, the difference is noticeable.
 
Actually nothing really, maybe gained 5lbs. My one friend lost 50lbs because the food at his school sucks.
 
I gained 35 pounds.

Started college at a scrawny 135 lbs and by the end of my second year I was up to a healthier looking 170.

I attribute it to the beer diet I was on 😛 😀.

I gained a bit. But now easily lost that after living at home and training much more and back to my usual training patterns.

Gained around 10 or 15 pounds over 4 years. But I also started weight training and bulked up big time. 😀
