This collection of easy sandwiches and wraps for college students has a little something for everyone. College is a transition for both student and parents. I’m just a couple of years away from my oldest heading off to college. I sometimes think about some of the things I will worry about when he’s gone. One thing is how well he will eat. He’s pretty picky though I know not all kids are.
If your child lives off campus all of these sandwiches and wraps are easily doable in an apartment kitchen. Many schools now allow a mini fridge in dorm rooms and some even have common areas where you can microwave or even do minimal cooking. There are some sandwiches in this round up perfect for those students too.
