Ain't Like It Used to Be - I guess my peers and I were the last generation of college students who didn't have cable TV in the dorms. (Even Princeton was in the process of installing it as we graduated, much to the professors' dismay.) On the other hand, having to troop to the eating club to watch MTV just helped everyone be a bit more sociable. We also thought it was nifty to be among the first to have a networked room, although there wasn't that much you could do on the Internet in those days. (Yes, porn was already available.) The AP has a report on living large on campus, 2003-style.
