<p>Ha, Smith food isn’t <em>that</em> great. My friends and I are convinced that they add natural laxatives to all of their recipes. I have trouble readjusting to Smith food after every summer at home. </p>
<p>Anyway, my house has a communal fridge and kitchen, but I’ve had problems with people eating my stuff so I brought my own fridge. I also had no problems with my hot pot (I stuff it in my closet during room inspections, which are always announced). </p>
<p>I would recommend bringing a fridge, a hotpot, a french press if your house has a stove for hot water (or you can just use hot water from the dining halls), and a fan. I also found a desk lamp to be useful.</p>
