Blenders in the Dorm?

<p>My RA doesn't know the answer to this so I decided to ask here: Are we allowed to have blenders in the dorms?</p>

<p>I looked through the list of prohibited things and all I see are things that have the potential to start fires.</p>

<p>And yes, I know I can just bring one and hide it even if it isn't allowed, but I'm a bit iffy if I'm trying to make a smoothie and my RA walks by and hears the blender go off. </p>

<p>I REALLY want a Magic Bullet for my room.</p>

<p>I doubt they would care if it’s not after hours. If you are still worried, maybe try the common room or something. There are outlets there.</p>

<p>Just bring one and see how it goes. I’m bringing a rice cooker and probablt a crock pot.</p>

<p>@overachiever92 dude you can’t bring a rice booker and a crock pot… lol well technically not. they’re not allowed according to the rules but uhh yeaa…</p>

<p>FYI: the rules with the dorms is “out of sight, out of mind.” As long as you aren’t blending crazy stuff at 1 AM, you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>What they don’t know, won’t hurt them…</p>

<p>Basically, they’ll have room inspections around 4th week. The kicker is that RAs aren’t allowed to touch ANYTHING or MOVE ANYTHING in your room. So if you’ve got a blender/rice cooker/whatever, just throw a blanket on top of it when 4th week rolls around and they won’t/can’t do ****.</p>

<p>^ 4th week? I thought it was 8/9 or 10th week? (My RAs blow, I never know when inspection are.)</p>

<p>I could be misinformed, silvercross. The bottom line being that you’ll know when room inspections are and know when to hide your stuff.</p>

<p>Side note: if they can tell beyond a reasonable doubt that you are hiding a prohibited item under a blanket/towel/etc. they can still issue a warning. I know someone that got issued a warning for a microwave because it was obvious by the way the blanket molded to the shape of the microwave what was underneath.</p>

<p>Planning on opening up a Jamba Juice in your dorm? Good way for easy side money I guess.</p>

<p>Magic bullet. It’s small, portable and you can hide it fairly easily.</p>
