Screen space is my main concern with a 13" laptop though, particularly if I’m doing everything on the laptop and don’t have an external monitor nearby (such as when I’m not in a dorm).

Keep in mind that some of the dorms I’ve seen are really cramped - sometimes 3 or more people in a dorm meant for 2 - and they’re dark. I can’t imagine doing much in those. What’s to say that you won’t get annoying roommates as well? (probably more of an issue freshmen year though)

I’m pretty sure I won’t have a TV - I rarely watch TV as it as at home, and I tend to watch things through my PC anyway when I do so. (I don’t own a TV of my own - there’s only one family TV - and I have no desire to get one.) Like I said, I already have a monitor that I can bring (currently used with my desktop, but I’ll be getting rid of the desktop at some point).
