The air fryer isn't just catching on to make life easy for single people or busy families, it's also catching on with college students. Check out this great list of air fryer recipes for college students we've put together.

With my oldest in college now, she is trying to make meals at her apartment now that she's living off of campus.

Remember the days of being a poor college student? Meals needed to be inexpensive. I think I personally lived off of Ramen noodles for a year.

The great part about her being single and owning an air fryer is that she can make some of her favorite meals and still save money without going out to eat.
