A 17" screen is overkill. Go with the 15".

Justification: I recently was in the market for a laptop and thought I NEEDED a 17". Largely because I wanted the 10 key with the keyboard. I'm taking some graduate classes and bringing the 15" I went with (Dell XPS9575) is nearly too bulky. We sit at work tables of 5-6 students and laptop plus notebook plus textbook gets really crowded.

Get the 15" and a docking station for the dorm.

Other specs, SSD is the way to go. For more storage USB-C or thunderbolt external drive.
Also, shop for something where the RAM is either upgradeable or maxed.
