| She truly does not need a TV and it is personal preference and it is true she'll have little time for one and it also takes up space (though in an apt. style dorm there is room). Don't buy one for college! Since your D doesn't care, I see no reason to even have one but since she'll be sharing a unit (if in apt. style) with three others, perhaps one of those girls will bring one. My D says she prefers to not have one and while she has one now only cause she is living in a furnished apartment furnished by someone else, she has a new apartment for next year and announced to me that they don't plan on having a TV. We did have a spare TV in our guest room she had freshman year and she has a teeny one in her bedroom at home too, but frankly, my kids have never watched much TV at all. It could be used for DVDs though but those also can be seen on a computer. Definitely don't buy a TV. Also, contact all the roomies in August and coordinate who is bringing what in terms of shared bigger items.
PS....we don't have flatscreen, high definition or TIVO here either (not even sure what TIVO is!) |
