Alternatives for eggs and dairy that would work for a broke college student?

I'm a college student in the US who relies on the dining hall mostly, but I do have a communal kitchen. I'm not interested in going fully vegan for a variety of reasons (I fully respect and support vegans though, just a personal choice), but I am aware of how harmful the dairy + egg industry can be, so I want to try and avoid helping it.

Are there any cheap or easy to make alternatives for scrambled eggs, milk, and yogurt (where most of my consumption comes from)? The main issues I've run into are that oat or soy etc milk is super expensive whereas normal milk is really cheap, and I'm trying to eat healthy so I eat a lot of eggs and yogurt because they're readily available at the dining hall. I also am super busy so I don't have a ton of time to devote to cooking.

Is this even possible to do? Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, just figured it was worth a shot.

Edit: tysm for all the help!! I got a lot of good ideas and I think it's doable for me :)

Have you ever found out something popular was vegan like Oreos, so you assumed the generic brand was also Vegan, and it wasn’t?
