Yeah, our on campus meals cost almost twice what similar off campus food costs. And in the little market, ramen is something like 40 cents per package.
A slice of (bad) pizza costs more than two dollars, so does a cheeseburger.
The worst part is that freshman and anyone who lives on campus, is required to put like 600 dollars on their meal card per semester. If you don't spend it all, you don't get a refund, and the money doesn't transfer over from one year to the next.
Anyway, you need to make your own food. Eat cereal and ramen, and get together with your friends and cookout a lot. You can usually get a small charcoal grill for less than twenty dollars, and you can make all kinds of tasty and cheap food with it.
