Can you bring cup noodles into the dining halls?

Hi, I'm an incoming student and I was wondering if you could bring cup noodles into the dining hall? I heard for the first couple of weeks and during nsop people usually eat in the dining halls and I don't really have a good experience with dining hall food in general; weird question but I'm curious lol

I'm a senior in high school and grades have dropped since last. I've been admitted to Columbia ED and previously, in high school I had all A's except 2 B's, one each junior and senior year first semester.

Right now, it looks like I'm going to end my second semester with 3 A's and 3 B's (maybe 4). My school counselor pulled me in today and said she was worried about my grades, then started saying that she doesn't know if I'll get rescinded or not. I asked if 3 A's and 3 B's were okay, but she said that she had no idea, and there was a chance they would rescind me or best case scenario, put me on academic probation.

She wasn't very sympathetic to my situation, saying that getting rescinded might actually be a relief for me. I've dreamed of going to Columbia for a long time and it's my only chance to get away from my terrible home environment.

It's the end of the term so there's not really anything I can do to save my grades and 3 B's is about the best I could do.

I heard Columbia is pretty strict about grades and sends out warning letters frequently. Is there a chance I'll get rescinded? Please give me the truth or next steps I should take, even if it might not be what I want to hear. Thanks so much for reading.
