Accurate scales?

So... This fall, I'm going off to live in a dorm and it's all exciting and junk. However, this means I am not going to have an accurate scale on hand, because the scale at my current residence is far too large to be bringing into a dorm. Can you guys advise me on what scale is best to purchase that is both lightweight/non-bulky and accurate? Low in price is also useful, but I'm a bit less concerned with that. Thanks so much!

    Honestly i've found the nicest, cheapest scale for college is the one a the school gym. Most schools have one in both the girls and boys changing rooms and they're the really accurate, doctors's office-y ones.

    The only problem with that is that I'm a bit of a scale junkie. I like to weigh myself at least three times a day, which I know is kind of neurotic but whatever. I also weigh myself naked (so that I know the weight of my clothes isn't causing fluctuations) and thus tend to weigh myself in private. So I'd probably use the gym scale every once a week or so as like a check-point, but I'd feel most comfortable having my own for most of my weighing.

    I have a Weight Watchers digital scale, it's my second one and both have been really accurate.

    Top rated scale on Amazon:

    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0032TNPOE/

    Accurate to 0.2 lbs
    No need to turn on, you just step on it and it weighs you.
    Big numbers for easy to see
    big platform, so no balancing act
