Yep, I'm headed to Nashville! It'll be nice with all the music stores down there, where I live I have to drive 30-45 minutes just to get strings.
There are lots of good replies, so I'm going to be far less practical.
I suggest an SVT w/ 810.
Why?
Because come move-out time, NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO STEAL IT!
OK, seriously, the rumble should do just fine if it's not a hardship to move it.

A used Roland Cube 100 would be great. They're compact, loud, and durable (apart from the cheap knobs), and they sound great. They have headphone jacks, but unfortunately no aux in. The newer Cube XL line does, but those might be hard to find used, and they're tough to recommend new at their prices. The top two models have built-in tuners, which along with the built-in effects make them excellent grab-and-go options. I would have LOVED something like it in college.
The Ibanez Promethean, as suggested is nice because it can get crazy loud.
I use a SWR LA 12 for practise because it can stomach a 5 string and has a very neutral sound that does not cover up any flaws in my play.
Things that sound good enough when played through my stack in rehearsal quite often sound awful at home, so i practise until they're good at home as well, making them sound better with the band.
