Student newly diagnosed with coeliac disease

Hi all.
My daughter has been diagnosed with coeliac disease. She's 19 and at uni.
Does anyone have any children who are students and can advise on easy quick cheap options?
I'm assuming that the uni food will have gluten free options but she does enjoy cooking for herself and eating out with friends as well.
Cheap and relatively easy options (for recipes or restaurant chains) would be gratefully received. (Also - those of you with children with coeliac disease - do you keep the whole kitchen gluten free at home or just separate out food with/without gluten?)
Thanks in advance

Yes there are even fish and chip shops which go to the expense of a separate fryer and prep area for coeliacs.

Sorry I've been working...
We really appreciate all of this advice.
We weren't too stressed about it but it is so helpful to get the advice from people who have been there and done it - it's given us so many great tips. Unfortunately there is no Asda in her uni town but we will do a big Asda trip before she goes back and she is going to request a fridge and maybe a freezer if she decides she likes the gluten free bread so then we can buy it in bulk before she heads back.
Again - thank you all so much!
