Have you cycled your tank or used anything to help cycle it?

How big is your frog? Maybe you should try some feeders on it, like worms, crickets, or roaches that are the small enough for them to eat. They have a great sense of movement and scent. Doing things like this isn't only nutritional, but will get their instinct going.
There are sinking pellets, but I find those to be mainly a mess. Reptomin floats on top then sinks so it usually gets your frog's attention.
I agree with Eli, but start with some reptomin and then mix in small feeders.

And yes, I did keep a gold fish. Usually the dorms give you space for a tank and my R.As never said anything. If you are getting an apartment, then it's even simpler. I have yet to lease anywhere that forbids aquatic animals. My roommate even snuck in a tortoise--no complaints. Keep in mind my dorms were fairly strict. However, really try to keep them with you. I trusted my mom with the goldfish, but she forgot to feed it, let it get a fungal infection, did nothing with the water maintenance and ultimately lead to a death after four years of keeping him. So if they must keep your frog, at least suggest they get an account on here and read through relevant threads.
I believe LLReptiles(maybe not and Xenopus Express (they specialize in ACF) sells supplies to even safely ship your animal if you are moving too far. But if it's a short move some fresh tupperware with lots of small holds should do them alright in the ride.

Again, don't bother with sinking pellets, especially if you have sand. If you must do sinking pellets get a very tiny plate and put them on there. Remember, to keep water quality good get a turkey baster and suck up all of the extra food. It will mess with the tanks clarity and chemistry.

The API master test kit usually runs for ~$15 on Amazon. Don't bother trying to get it at petsmart/petco. They will charge nearly $40. But you can try to get the tetra multitest strips. They are kind of expensive ($20 range) and not the most accurate, but they give you an idea of what's going on in your water. I think the tetra strips also give you suggestions on how to fix wacky water chemistry.

Are you using a filter? If so what kind?
