<p>I was reading the list of tv channels provided by the university and I saw NFL network, and fox sports NE, but no ESPN or ESPN 2???? Is this true? If so, Is there anyway I can purchase that additionally, and how much would it cost? I gotta have my sports, hahaha. thank you.</p>
<p>I just noticed they had NESN, but that's only for red sox and bruins mostly. Do they recap everything in sports daily, or are they independently boston sports. (I have all of these questions as a new york sports fan, haha)</p>
<p>The fact that there is no ESPN on the dorm TV network has been a matter of great pain for many on the Tufts campus for a long time. Maybe when you get here you can finally petition to get it! :) I do believe there is ESPN in Hotung Cafe at the campus center, though, and people get together and watch games there as a crowd. Next year there will be new flat-screen TVs so that'll be nice.</p>
<p>Can't you "buy" a subscription to the NY games from ESPN.com? I vaguely remember reading/seeing a similar thing for Sox games (or perhaps you have to be overseas..)?</p>
<p>Sorry, this may not be helpful at all.</p>
<p>I do believe that some of the dorms do get ESPN and ESPN classic. I don't know how many, but I'm pretty sure that the bigger dorms, such as Houston, Miller and South do.</p>
<p>I think the price for ESPN was too high so Tufts didn't pay for it.</p>
<p>ESPN is currently available for every room in only a handful of dorms. If you were not lucky enough to get ESPN in your room, you could always watch it in the common areas, 1 of which is located in every dorm.</p>
<p>I actually think there's a way to hack into Tufts' ESPN subscription, but I don't know the details.</p>
<p>What other channels are not included in the basic package? (I don't think I could find any classic movie channels, like the ones without commercials, on the list.)</p>

<p>They have IFC among others. Tufts has an amazing TV package compared to other schools -- and all for free. My friends at Harvard only get the network stations.</p>
