I am in my dorm right now and need to get 4 cups of water to make my lunch, but I have no measuring cups. I only have red cups and I am wondering how much I should fill it and how many times to get 4 cups. I couldn't find online .

8oz = 1 cup, so if the red cup says how many ounces it holds, you're good to go.
Alternatively, if you happen to have a tablespoon (although, since you don't have measturing cups it's probably not likely), 16 tablespoons = 1 cup. You could use that to find the 1 cup mark (or half cup if the red cup is too small) on the red cup, then mark it so that you'll know in the future.
Since you're in a dorm, you're probably near a fast food joint or convenience store. You could go there, ask them for their smallest cup, and ask how many ounces it is. From there, you can figure out how many times to fill it to get four cups (32 oz).

Alright, turned out it was 16 Ozs, I put it in, microwaved it... then accidentally spilled the noodles into the sink . It cost 6 dollars too, pad thai. I am just having a cheap buck fifty burrito now. Thanks guys.

Dudes. I feed my family nothing but oat straw and silage. A month's worth of meals for the whole family (and any dinner guests) is only 89 cents.
Then again, we tend not to get a lot of repeat dinner guests.

You people feed your families actual food? I make my kids look at pictures in magazines when they are hungry. At the library, so we won't have to actually buy the magazines.
Dang this three-day weekend. We haven't had a look at a decent meal since Friday.

I'm not clear on the concept of "red cup". Is this a standard thing that people know of? Can't any cup be red?

I believe he means the kind of disposable plastic cups (often red or blue) that are common at, say, college parties. You can, however, buy them in different sizes.
