I would not invest a lot of money in a stereo system if my kid was living in campus housing. Theft is always an issue, not to mention abuse of the equipment by drunk roommates.
I'd be looking at cheap bluetooth powered speakers, or one of the bluetooth Chinese amps and a pair of cheap Dayton Audio speakers.
I know I sound like an old crabby fart, but the kids should be focused on their classes and other activities and shouldn't be spending all their time in a comfortable dorm room. In fact, the more the dorm room looks like a prison cell, the better.😁
