For a college dorm in ho, you probably won't have room for much more than a time saver switching puzzle, maybe a time saver stretched a bit. Modern rolling stock is probably too big, although some 50 footers might be ok. A Bachmann 44 or 45 toner, perhaps a GE 70 tonner for motive power.
One other possibility is to hook up with a club locally when you get to college. If you go to Rennsellear (spelling?) near Albany, N.Y. they have a club right on campus. If you end up in San Diego, the clubs at the Model Railroad Museum in Balboa Park have space for members, and especially for members who are free at odd hours during the day in the middle of the week to operate the layout for museum visitors.
