Gets about 20mhs, but a great platform to learn on imo.

I used this a lot. Special price for univ. orders.

Is there a sub 100$ option?

Avnet Spartan-6 LX9 MicroBoard

$89.00

And how much can this board give? 10MH/s?

Digilent has several boards with academic discount:

The Atlys @ 199USD looks like a steal if you're gonna do something more heavy.

I am an electric engineering student and i would like to experiment with an FPGA - not specifically for mining.
what would you recommend as a cheap starter kit?
I am thinking on using it for audio/image compression/decompression and mining experiments
I am thinking specifically about fpga since so far i mostly had to deal with micro controllers and software, and now would like to experiment with hardware.
Is there a sub 100$ option?

There isn't anything that cheap, but you may wish to consider either Icarus or Ztex, because they have lots of I/O options. See http://bitcoinfpga.com/ for a good comparison of various FPGA options.
