Here's one that's $21 with 4 stars from over 1000 reviews.
buy a steamer since it shouldn't break ANY school dorm rules at all, (and maybe an electric kettle like this for things like tea or whatever.)
Then, just every few days, pick up healthy meals at a cheaper place, say Aldi. (Aldi has frequently been cheaper than Walmart or Costco per oz. Just figure out when they get their shipments, though, because produce is only good there like twice a week) and just steam your meals. Buy some spices to make it yummy, and if you get the electric kettle you can heat water or milk to makes sauces.
The only thing that is difficult to do with a steamer is red meat. Usually to cook meat via steam you need a pressure cooker. That said, though, if you cut it into small pieces it can work. That would take some messing around with. I'm assuming your dorm has a microwave somewhere too and maybe a community toaster?
You can make lots of things in the steamer, including some not-quite-so-healthy foods like many of the Asian style of appetizer (dumpling, pork bun, etc).
There's a chance you could get a mini fridge with a larger freezer portion, but unfortunately until that happens with my method you'd have to buy in small portions and go shopping once every 4 days or so too keep the food guaranteed fresh.
Thanks for the great answer, madison! :)
As someone who cooked pretty extensively in IV for two years, here are some more tips:
I don't wanna be seeing no news articles about IV burning down.

I cooked pancakes, eggs, fish, rice, beans, etc, without any problem. I usually opened the window, cooked near the window, and kept a fan on.
Okay, it’s this. I hope your days get brighter and I’ll try to make mine more positive for me :)
