The opposite, however, is also true. Some people find themselves eating less. The food at college definitely isn't like the food you eat at home. Many that eat less on the basis that they don't like the food and whatever they do like, is full of fat. Therefore, to balance what they will eat and not gain weight they eat less.
College is a totally different environment from home with a lot more time left with nothing to do.
When you go to college you need to watch how much you eat and what you eat. If you don't watch yourselves it is really easy to gain the freshman fifteen.
