Microfridge Rentals

If you want to use a microwave or refrigerator in your residence hall room, you'll need to purchase or rent a combination microwave and refrigerator called a microfridge.

Rent or Buy a MicroFridge

If you want to use a refrigerator or microwave in your room, you must use a Microfridge.

Rent: $237.59 per year

Purchase: $572.39

Why We Require Microfridges

The university is moving to Microfridges because they:

Reduce energy consumption.
Provide a more sustainable living environment.
Comply with outlet specifications for electrical use.
Shut down when smoke begins, triggering smoke detectors less often.

Exceptions: McBryde and Bates House

McBryde and Bates House already have microfridges in each room. There is no need for residents in these halls to rent or buy a microfridge.

Microwaves and Fridges in On-Campus Apartments

Mini fridges are not allowed in apartments. You will have a full size refrigerator in the kitchen. Microwaves are allowed in the kitchen only.

Secondary MicroFridge Delivery Dates

Will be delivered on dates based on your residence gall; you or your roommate/suitemate will go to the lobby of the building corresponding to your housing assignment on the date specified during the time-frame. You or your roommate will escort the MicroFridge student worker back to your room where they will install your rented MicroFridge.
