How to make a kitchen in a dorm?
I’ll need
Counter
storage
mini fridge with separate freezer door
hot plate
microwave
The communal kitchen is gross so I will probably only use it when I need an oven.
The dorm building is a converted hotel that was built in th early 60s.
No gas but I can do dishes in my sink. The sink and vanity are in a nook in the main room while shower and toilet are seperated so it isn’t really in the bathroom.

You have already included the main components. For me, the microwave and fridge are the keys.
Other possibilities:
-toaster oven (for toast, bake, or crispy warm-up)
-an upright cabinet w/ doors and shelves (self-assembly; can be found at Target, Ikea, Wal-Mart.
Note: it might be heavy to carry. If you live in an earthquake-prone area, make sure to secure it to the studs in the wall.
-a folding table, maybe a lightweight aluminum camping table w/ a wire back to hand utensils on.
(look at a camping store such as REI)
-shelves on the wall, if you can
-a popcorn maker’s aroma will attract many friends to your room!
Good eating!
