I graduated college in 1982 - i didn’t start doing fingersticks until a little after that, and was on injections until the mid 1990s. Never thought about doing or needing anything special - food was allowed in the dorms soil always had snacks available, and I let my roommates know what low looked like and what to do.  
That said, here’s a discussion on the topic that I remember reading a while back: dorm accommodations are only a small part but you might find it helpful:

> Hi, I was wondering if anyone has some advice or experience with T1 and college accommodations. I started college this fall and I registered for accommodations with my schools Disability Services. Recently the other day I had a blood sugar of 400 during an exam to which I left early but I was told by my professor that I would not be able to resume the exam at another time or be able to retest. Should I be able to receive accommodations that let me take an exam only when my sugars are in range?…
