Actually, if you can have a rice cooker in your room there's loads more that you can cook in it besides just rice! Check out some of these for examples and more info:

Since you have access to a microwave too a lot of possibilities would be open to you, but not having a frig puts a dent in that especially for dinners.
As mentioned, you could use a makeshift frig with some kind of cooler (or just a cardboard box with crumpled paper inside and/or clothing or blankets), and especially if you could get free ice, or freeze some of those freezer packs in someone else's freezer, etc, to use at least for a few days after you'd bought things that needed refrigeration.
There are all kinds of things you could make without refrigeration too, esp. with the rice cooker and microwave.
There are a few more suggestions in my answer to this previous question:

Good luck!
Get a small ice chest if you don't have access to a fridge. Those dorm fridges are so small anyway, there's not much you can put in them, but an ice chest with some ice in sealed packages (ziplock?) so you don't have a melting mess will hold much more. Stock it with fresh veggies for munching. Hummus to dip them in. Cheese. Fruit. Shelf stable milk. Keep a box you can put a top on (bugs and critters and thieving floormates!) and keep crackers, peanut butter, jam, popcorn, canned soups (put over the rice), juices, powdered drink mixes, a couple of plates, bowls, silverware. You can wash things in the bathroom. Have fun!
