<p>The U of D dorm list includes a power strip with an internal circuit breaker is this the same thing as a surge protector? The kid at staples thought I was crazy when I said internal circuit breaker. How many joules of protection does an average kid need? Please don't ask me what a joule is. Also,what size fridge do most kids get? Microwave size? Thanks anyone.</p>
<p>DD uses the standard power squids with surge protectors, you don’t want the ones that are just an extension cord. The cube refrig is about 2 cu ft which DD found too small and now uses a 3.2 cu ft one. The small micro you can get at Target for $40 is fine. DD and roomie freshman year decided who would bring what.</p>
<p>thanks for the info</p>
