You don't need an oven, you can buy a table top hot plate or hob. People rarely roast things even when they do have an oven. We bought one when we moved to Germany. Flats there really are unfurnished in that they don't even supply a kitchen or sink or anything, just an empty room with a water supply. So we bought free standing kitchen units and bought a camping hot plate.

When I first lived alone at university I didn't know how to cook either so I just learnt. It's not that hard, and can be fun to create new recipes. But it's so much cheaper and healthier in the UK to cook from base ingredients. After spending 4 years in industry I decided to go back to university on a stipend that gave me 9K a year. I wanted to continue eating organic food and I managed it because I knew how to cook from base ingredients.
It's amazing all the recipes that are essentially beans and rice.
