You'll want to combine diet with exercise. When you have alot of weight to lose, they really do go hand in hand. As far as eating at the cafeteria- first off portion control. With the whole all you can eat thing, it's easy to have 2 caramel rolls for breakfest, or have a big bowl of ice cream for desert. What works for me is high protein and low carbs. Not atkins necessarily- that's way too strict for me, but I don't eat pastas or white bread- processed stuff like that. I know most colleges offer salad bars- get some lettuce and fix yourself a good salad. Vegies are great. Stay away from the french fries. I could go on and on, but I think you probably know what you need to watch for. Its usually a matter of discipline and will-power. You just gotta stick to it. And let your friends know what you're doing- that way they can help hold you responsible for what you do choose to eat. Support is VERY important. I hope this helped you.
