<p>What size refrigerator do people normally have in their dorm rooms?</p>
<p>There’s not a lot of room for refrigerators; D’s roommate had one of the taller refrigerators, and the only place for it was right inside the doorway…a snug passage (it was too tall to go under a desk). D still brought her small one (about 20" square, I think), but sacrificed the top of her chest of drawers to use it…it would have fit under the desk, but she had a 2-drawer locking file cabinet there.</p>
<p>OK. Thanks.</p>

<p>max is 3.6 cubic foot.</p>
<p>however, the RA’s didn’t really check or measure anyone’s fridge…</p>
<p>Mine was pretty big…like 4.3 cubic feet. It was awesome.</p>
<p>I have heard that they make frig/microwave combos. Are those not allowed in the dorm rooms?</p>
<p>They aren’t allowed because you can’t have a microwave in your room.</p>
<p>…and the RA’s DO check that… All (? I think) dorms have a microwave in common areas…Denton has one one each floor in the lounge.</p>
<p>Do people typically rent or buy their frig’s? If renting is an option, is there a place to rent near the university?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I don’t believe you can rent of fridge, but many of my friends foound creative places to put them…like in the closet.
But I would say the bigger the better…I liked to have a well stocked fridge at all times.</p>
<p>OK. Thanks.</p>
<p>They’re pretty cheap to buy, and all the “big box” stores have them on sale this time of year. We got one that was on close-out at Lowe’s or Home Depot last summer, but Target, Walmart, etc. all have them.</p>
<p>Thanks. I think we will buy one when get there on move in day to save room in the car.</p>
<p>I brought a 4.3 lol But hey since I’m in a triple I think it’s fair lol</p>
