<p>A monitor? Probably no room for that - though you might consider a smallish LCD monitor that can do double-duty as your TV - you’ll need a cable-ready monitor for that. I guess that makes it a TV with VGA input. Similarly, you can use a DVD drive on your notebook as a DVD player - saves space, but make sure you’ve got a good warranty, as they’ll usually wear out faster than a regular DVD player, and are a lot more expensive to replace. </p>
<p>Speakers? Sure, if they’re small. But if you have an MP3 player, you might prefer a dock with speakers. </p>
<p>Printer - a small-footprint decent-quality inkjet is all you’ll need - but since you’re doing it anyway, one with photo printing capability, and scanner/copier function would be useful, and won’t really cost much more. Fax you’ll probably not need, and that usually costs a bit more - in a pinch, if you can scan, you can fax from your notebook.</p>
<p>When you get a roommate assignment, you’ll want to coordinate that stuff with them - most people get their own printers, but share things like tv’s, mini-fridges, etc, as there’s not generally much room for duplicates.</p>
