Here's a super-easy recipe for White Chicken Chili. You just mix it all up in a saucepan until the cheese is melted and it's warmed through. Not gourmet, but definitely easy for a dorm kitchen, and it's really quite good:

1 cup sour cream (I use light)
1 cup shredded pepper-jack cheese (bagged is fine)
3 cans of great northern beans
1 cup of salsa (I just use one jar of Newman's)
3 cups of diced, cooked chicken (try Tyson's diced, roasted chicken breast...it's in a bag in the freezer section)

This is the basic recipe, but I like to add 2 cups of frozen corn. You can serve it with tortilla chips or scoops, and add chopped green onions, etc. for garnish if you wanted to jazz it up. I think a fruit salad would go well with it, too.
