I just found out I have been accepted to boarding school, and I would like to continue to play piano (I have been playing for about eight years). I need a keyboard or digital piano that will fit well in a dorm room. It needs to have pedals,weighted keys, authentic sound and be under 00. What type would be the best? (It doesn’t have to have a lot of fancy features, just do what a normal piano can do)

You won’t get a very good one for under $1000. My favorite brand is Yamaha but Kurzweil is ok.
At a thousand bucks your options are pretty much limited to the Casio Privia Pianos and some of the lower end Yamaha.
Look at the Korg SP170.
If you give up the weighted key option, and go for synth action, then take a look at the M-Audio 88. My husband has a gorgeous Steinway downstairs, but for the classical music weddings and other such gigs we play (certainly not concerts! Those have to be a really fine grand!) then we take this. It has two pedals (sustain and sostenuto!), weighs 17 pounds, and has decent piano sounds – not all the outer-space stuff you do not need. You can listen with headphones, or run it thru an amp. Please get a good stand – one with four good legs, not an X stand. Musicians Friend has one for around $85 that folds to a letter L, but opens into two Ys connected with a bar – very stable, and you can even put a shett of wood on it to make a table for extra guests. I bought one for my school – adjustable in almost every parameter, can hold a big mixer, etc. Aldo get an adjustable bench – you can get a 4-leg crankup (artist) bench for less than $100 – same place. Again, beats the X-leg bench. If you do not like the pedal that comes with it ( small, square, if I remember – we have a tons of extra things here) then get traditionally-shaped pedals. Place a conventional GOOD folding music stand in front, and get good lighting that clips on. You will be all set!
We own 5 electric keyboards and a fine Steinway squaretail A – and of course they cannot be compared – but for what they are,a decent electric keyboard beats a crappy acoustic piano.
