I never made this for school, so I don't know if you can brown bag this for lunch, but I found a way to make your own pizza using everyday ingredients.
You take 1 or more slices of bread (preferably whole wheat since it's healthier), some pasta sauce, and any kind of cheese, meat, and veggies you have. I usually use deli meats and cheese that you can buy in a grocery store, but you can be creative and use something else.
For preparation, you spread the pasta sauce on the bread, put cheese on it, then meat or vegetables or both, then microwave everything for about a minute. You can use any kind of vegetable and meat for this, so you won't get bored of the taste.
Like I said, I don't know if you can brown bag this, but it might be something to fall back on if you want healthy pizza.

Good luck! c:
Pick up some glass containers from the dollar store. More resilient and less likely to stain than their plastic counterparts. Plastic baggies and brown bags are, imho, terribly wasteful if not reused (unfortunately reusing them is not all that sanitary!)
I pack a lunch the night before work, usually right after dinner so I can easily separate the left overs. Either it's that (a rarity with my husband) or a sandwich, salad, whatevers simplest to whip up.
Make sure to include a snack for long lectures to keep your energy up (trust me, you'll need it!)
Sandwiches - whole grain bread, low fat cheese like ghouda/feta/swiss, turkey, mustard, lettuce, tomato - or just simple PB&J. Salads - throw together lettuce, spinach, kale, and cut up veggies. Keep dressing separate. Rice & bean combo - I think someone already mentioned this. Prepare and throw in the fridge. Good cold or hot. Bentos - the Japanese variety. Can be time consuming or ridiculously simple. No need for a bento box, really. Tons of fun recipes on Pinterest.
Try to make it as simple and quick as possible, but still filling and healthy.
Trust me, when finals hit and burn out drags you down, a nightly routine helps a lot.

flauterfli Bentos - the Japanese variety. Can be time consuming or ridiculously simple. No need for a bento box, really. Tons of fun recipes on Pinterest.
yum_tea The key ingredient in a bento is actually the bento itself! Without the bento box, it's just a bag lunch. Which isn't bad, far from it, it's just not a bento lunch.
On that note, in order to train yourself to make your lunch every day, start by investing in a cute lunch box (Japanese bento or Western style box, whichever suits you best) or insulated lunch bag. Having something that you like to look at will encourage you to use it every day. Investing in a thermos or refillable water bottle will help you keep your costs down further, since you'll be able to bring your own drinks instead of buying sodas from the cafeteria or vending machines. Look for insulated containers for drinks or individual food items; failing that, make sure you have microwave-safe material for anything you want to eat hot, and that you have a reusable ice pack for the stuff you want to keep cold.
JustBento.com and JustHungry.com have a ton of easy, filling recipes that you can use to make portable lunches out of; most of them utilize rice and/or beans as the primary ingredient, so they're pretty cheap.
