how often do you/will you be using microwave in dorm room?

Literally the only times I ever used the microwave my roommate brought was to make popcorn. A hot pot (little electronic kettle you can use to boil water in a couple minutes) was a much wiser investment, since it only cost about $15 for a decent one, you can make tea, ramen, and all those nice things, and can fit in a drawer as opposed to an entire shelf. Really, with a meal plan, you’re not going to need much of anything cooking related in your room unless you’re the kind of person who needs hot snacks at all times.

I think maybe the OP is concerned about their roommate’s opinion not only for space constraints but also because a lot of times those rental plans are like $84 or so split between both residents, in which case it would be their problem whether or not they liked the idea.
