When I was lived in a dormitory I used to brew up ramen in a mini coffee maker. It honestly wasn't great ramen, but better than eating the dry ramen brick with the seasoning packet sprinkled on top.

Did you study in the US? I only ask because here (US) Ramen is synonymous with poor college students. It's inexpensive food and easy to make. But in China, they actually take Ramen very seriously and you can even go to Chinese grocers in the US and get some pretty good ramen. -You can make it in a coffee pot still, if you'd like.

Fortunately for me the coffee pot ramen phase was fairly short lived (as was the mini coffee maker!) Nowadays I take my ramen fairly seriously, though I don't know how authentic it is to put leftover chicken or what-have-you.
