TV/Entertainment
You won’t want two different TVs blaring at the same time in your dorm room; TVs take up space and cost a lot, too. Decide which of you will bring the TV—preferably the person with the bigger screen—and discuss what kind of shows the two of you like to watch. If the two of you are into DVDs, assign one person to bring the DVD player and compare notes as to who owns what movies. There’s no sense in having two copies of the same movie taking up space in your tiny abode.
If you opt out of subscribing to cable or satellite TV service, you’ll probably want to enlist the help of a stable internet provider to keep you connected to the world. The two of you will have to agree on a bandwidth and price point, so find the right package for your needs.
