Should I bring TV???

HI~ I decided to go Rice and have been wondering about what to bring when we move into the college. Especially, Television and DVD player...
Should I bring those items or can we just buy TV after moving in?? I think it is utterly impossible to bring my TV from my country (I live in Asian country)
I know it seems a very silly question, but as TV being an essential item for my resting, this 'briniging TV' problem has vexed me for a while...
What are you gonna do? (my fellow Rice class of 2011 or other prospies) or How have you managed? (current Rice Student)

You can just buy a TV after moving in or talk to your roommate to see if he or she is bringing a tv or dvd player.

Yeah, given the difficulty of shipping a TV from Asia (you'll have enough stuff to move without it) the compatability issues with cable hookups and electricity and the cheapness of TVs, I wouldn't bring one. Talk to your roommate after you figure out who he/she is, and buy one once you get to Rice.
