I'll be moving to a dorm, so it has to be pretty small. And I can't guarantee giving it tons of sunlight or a certain humidity.
And...is it asking too much to want one that will stay in bloom during the winter?

african violets stay indoors well. Orchids, but they are a lot of work. pachesandra (sp?) are pretty much foolproof - theyr'e the only plant I can keep. ivy is good too. no flowers though. you can "force" bulbs types to bloom as long as they have had enough time to reset their biological clocks in the cold (like tulips, etc)

African Violets sound right up your alley - and some of the newer snazzier versions are down right cool. Not your grannies flower - but y'know, even the older ones have a lot of charm, and will flower most of the year as long as they get some sun (put it near a window, if you leave your hand there for a minute and your hand is warm (not hot) you have enough light. Hand get hot? too much heat for the plant.
Get a self watering pot and you are well on your way to flowers most of the year.
Good Luck

for winter blooming you cant beat a christmas cactus. theyre very easy to grow and the bloom is very abundant and spectacular. if the light level is quite low, you could try a peace lily.they have dark green leaves and white flowers that look like hoods around a central calyx (similar to a calla lily)

African violets have beautiful blooms most of the time. Mine are blooming right now. They are not hard to grow and are not too large.

Try an African Violet or an Orchid, or some cacti are stunning and flower

i imagine it ought to flow outside in case you practice heavy mulch. l did 30 in the course of the chilly months the following and they are starting up to leaf already. position contained in the sunniest spot on your resources. they decide on 6-8 hours sunlight daily. Feed them generously. appears like you made an extremely good decision to marry a guy that buys you roses.

I've always enjoyed having a shamrock. It is easy to care for and will flower repeatedly.
