| NMR, I don't know about most but certainly lots of NYU kids do have tvs in their dorm rooms. I remember the morning we moved my D into her dorm in freshman year and the number of tvs that were being lugged upstairs. Anyway, it certainly is a personal preference and if your D isn't interested, then that's fine. There is limited time to watch tv but my D enjoyed having the opportunity there if she happened to have some downtime when her favorite shows were on. I know that a group of them used to get together once a week, when possible, to watch The West Wing and it was a nice social event for her 'floor' friends. They also did this periodically with movies, and watching them on a laptop just wasn't going to be the same. Chances are one of your D's roommates will bring one so you shouldn't worry too much about it. |
