See if there are any other student devotees who are living around in your area and try to relocate to a 1 BHK home from hostel along with them and you shall not hav any problem there. or See if there are any jain restaurants where they do not use onion and garlic.
since your college is from 8-5 you will have lot of time in the evening when you can cook and offer to Lord and take the prasadam. Also you can do some of the preparations to the next day cooking in the morning like cutting the vegetables etc so that you can cook quickly in the morning.
my college would start around same time and still I was managing it. but i know it is little difficult. after all Krishna wants to test our sincerity and what ever arrangements he makes is for our own purification.

It is not big excuse as i understand
devotee wakes up by 4 am u can finish chanting by 6.30 and can cook from 7 to 7.20 breakfast , eat and go to college
cook sabji in morning which will last till afternoon eat with chapatis , get curd eat with plain rice
good breakfast is of fruits , evening have little fruits & in night have hot milk
so many devotees manage more complex schedules
just give importance to process u'll able to follow.
