As for exercises, it depends on what equipment you end up with.  I'd definitely recommend things to shape up the core region, like crunches (an exercise ball is great for this) leg lifts, squats/lunges, etc.  Many basic exercises can be done in a place as small as a dorm room, as long as the roomie doesn't mind.  A few more details about what you've got to work with and what you're open to would be helpful! Good luck! -Herald
