Electric Coolers for Dorms -Brand Advice

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>I am trying to figure out which brand of electric cooler to buy for my son’s dorm room. The Coleman one at WalMart got really horrible reviews - mostly due to noise from the fan. </p>

<p>Any veteran parents out there remember what they bought?</p>

2

<p>im not a parent but im just wondering wat school ur child is going to…cause most school dont allow coolers…just wondering though</p>

<p>Good Luck! :)</p>

<p>From what I understand no school allows refrigerators, many allow thermoelectric coolers. Exeter does allow them.</p>

<p>Current Exeter students - correct me I am wrong…</p>

<p>oh thats interesting…i may ask my school about that</p>

5

<p>kent allows one fridge per dorm room :D</p>

<p>Libbyb4 is right-- somehow fridges are fire hazards but electric coolers not.</p>

7

<p>fridges are cold!</p>

8

<p>only with lots of electricity</p>

9

<p>Some schools do not allow them because the extra use of electricity is not eco-friendly.</p>

<p>keylyme, does NMH allow electric coolers?</p>

<p>I got a Kenmore mini-fridge. Its pretty good, all my friends at my sisters colleges reccomended the fridge to me.</p>

<p>I don’t know if NMH allows them; they try to be very eco-friendly and do not allow refrigerators in rooms. There is a small fridge in each of the halls of the boys freshman dorm (not sure about the girls). This was fine for my son.</p>
