@MrThatcher I’m a parent with means. I think the commenters are trying to do you a favor. Showing up at college with a ridiculously large tv, luxury vehicle, etc will make people judge you - and not in a good way.
Not to mention, viewing a 65" in a small dorm room will give you a headache. I can hear my mom’s voice “You’ll go blind!”
OP- I think you should ask for special permission to have a double room converted to a single just for you, and then get this tv https://www.samsung.com/us/televisions-home-theater/tvs/qled-8k-tvs/98-class-q900-qled-smart-8k-uhd-tv-2019-qn98q900rbfxza/?cid=pla-ecomm-pfs-cha-22019-22506&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7Jy5_Ibb4wIVkICfCh1hrAnDEAQYASABEgJzRvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds And then invite dormmates over to watch old episodes of Punk’d.
The tv is the same price as your car. Its right in your budget.
Alright since everyone keeps commenting on this thread, I’ll answer some of your questions.
@austinmshauri I tried hanging out with some of my friends over the summer, however, every time we make plans to meet, one by one, they all drop off. Just like mayflies. They give excuse after excuse why they couldn’t make it to the point where I’m usually the only one at the location looking like a damn fool. Of course, when I do rarely get invited to a house party, I get there and surprise surprise, no one wants to chat like I’ve been trying my best to be approachable and nope. The most I get is a Hey welcome to the party and Thanks for coming.
So I concluded, what the hell, who needs friends/people when you got the world’s products at your fingertips? Not once my new XC90 ever stranded me at a pre-determined destination point 
As Sherlock Holmes always said,
Friends are for the weak.
@10s4life I have both the XC60 and XC90. Why not have the best of both worlds? But since you mentioned it, I’ll update it with the build pic of the XC90.
@houndmom I try to be good to everyone but your right, we get judged anyway. I always received the sneering remarks back in high school and college about money. Like I don’t understand the hatred and bitterness of other people. My best friend always chalked it up to jealousy is a cruel mistress and that misery loves company. One time, I got into a heated argument with a classmate because she didn’t appreciate that I prefer higher-end brands. She accused me of being a snob and I fired back saying “you can’t hate the club if you can’t even join”. Well, that ended in even more arguing but it is getting sick and tiring being accused of all sort of malicious things just because I like nice things. That’s why I really wanted to buy that one jacket that Melania Trump had that said “I don’t really care, do you?” cause that is just now my mood towards all these bitter people.
oooh, can I play along?
I’m surprised we didn’t hear the “you just don’t understand me” line. Because clearly, all the people talking about him not making friends just don’t get it. He is approachable. Just only by the “right” people. He is a great friend. Just that others don’t see it. Not adults, not peers. All we see is the guy that lives under the bridge.
CC must love MrThatcher - he drives up hits and post counts.
You need to realize that not everyone is jealous, but they aren’t interested in your cars or your big screen TV. Maybe they’d like to talk about something else, like volunteering on a Habitat build, or that you raised $200 for a cancer walk or what movie you watch (and you don’t have to say you watched it on your $4000 TV!). I just don’t care about cars (as anyone can tell by looking at my 18 year old Honda) so if you approached me at a party and said “Hey, don’t you like my new (expensive) car?” I’d say “Yes, it is nice” and that would be the end of the conversation unless you had something else to talk about. At a party, I’d rather talk about you, what school you are going to, about your major or some project you are engaged in, not about which oversized TV you brought.
Which college are you going to that you will have time to watch tv and game?
…and if you do, why not do it in the common areas so you at least aren’t sitting in your dorm room alone?
I get OP is likely not serious, but if any kid headed to college is reading…leave the TV and get a door stop so you can prop your door open. The solo kid in the dorm room with the electronics is sad, to me. Maybe in some cases with that AND the open door, others with similar interests will wander in. But IDK, neither of kids took tvs to college.
@lucyvanpelt I never said I was seeking CC’s approval.
@twoinanddone I tried. I literally never mention anything I own but when I do that’s when I get a response but a negative one and not a positive one. I don’t mention anything, no response. I mention something, a negative response. It’s a lose-lose situation.
@OHMomof2 I mean I do get people to come to my room but its always to borrow something or if I could host a movie night on my expense. I mean I did it once by buying pizza and wings and had my smaller 55" tv to watch a movie with the whole floor. But when I ask them afterward if there was anything that I could join in that they were doing, I always a get a no or it’s only with close friends or only for fraternity members. So I just concluded the majority of the people who approached that year were just money hungry a**holes. I said screw them and permanently kept my door closed to enjoy the company of myself. So far myself hasn’t betrayed me. I see it as a win-win.
That was actually Lance Crawford in That '70s Show. A fictional character that I personally do not aspire to be. 
Like i said…look up the meaning of “humble brag”.
I can’t think of anyone who loves to hear someone brag about their expensive possessions. That is about as shallow as it gets.
I think you need some instruction in social communication skills. What do you really need to do to interact with others…you don’t appear to know…or understand.
So you literally DID mention the stuff you own. Please take a good hard look in the mirror. People don’t care about “stuff”. They care about people, their values, their good qualities, their ability to be a good friend and help each other when need be, etc. Thats unfortunate if that is not important to you.
@MrThatcher Honestly you sound like you need some friends. And here’s some great advice on how to get some: good friends don’t care if you offer them something or have money. They are your friend cause they wanna be around you and like your personality. If what you’re saying is true that people don’t like hanging out with you consistently then maybe look at how you’re acting. If it’s a repeatable problem then maybe it’s you not them.
Also you mentioned guys in fraternities are always busy with their own stuff, well maybe you should consider rushing. There’s plenty of houses that will take anyone who rushes.
MODERATOR’S NOTE: OK, I think this thread has run its course.
