Astro turf. Seriously you can get it pretty cheap... at least enough to cover a dorm room floor.
laminate flooring 99 cents a square foot
get the cheapest area rug from wal-mart.
I don't know what kind of scheme your going for, but something fun that is not carpet would be foam puzzle mats that are actually for kids. You can get them at toy stores. The are square puzzle peices that fit together that can have the "ABC's" on them or "123's", shapes, animals, etc. They aren't to expensive and you could cover a lot of flooring with them.
Here are a few websites I found with different styles.

When I studied in Asia, I noticed that a lot of the Japanese students would go out and buy a piece of room-size inexpensive linoleum for their room and put it down over the carpet. They liked it because it was easier to clean.
