While it is true that there is a lot of bad food to choose from during college, there are lots of healthy choices, as well. If you are eating in a cafeteria, you always have the opportunity to select and compose your meal, so make healthy choices. Also, for late night eating, it is wise to have some healthy things on hand (granola bars, fruit, etc), so that you can avoid the temptation to buy the first salty or sweet thing you see.

Exercise is critical! You will feel better and it's a perfect stress reliever after sitting around studying and being in your head, which is what college is often about.
Get out there and sweat! Run, walk, dance, play tennis, swim, go to the campus gym if there is one. Stretch alot. sometimes, once you start to exercise, you'll want to eat better foods because you won't want to clog yourself and drag yourself down with all that heavy lardy toxic junkfood. You'll have more energy--especially if you stop eating late at night. There's no way to burn that stuff while you're sleeping and it makes you sluggish in the morning.
Alcohol and soda are wasted calories that really really hurt you. If you're drinking either one of those everyday, you will see a pretty quick difference if you cut back.
It's all about choices and your willingness to make the right ones. That doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy treats. You don't want to get into a deprivation mindset because it's counterproductive.
The formula is the same in college or out: Eat right, exercise. End of story. No diets, no gimmicks, just a way of life. No excuses.
