Elevators in Colleges?

<p>More specifically, College 9?</p>

<p>I'm worried because I'm on floor 3 AND the mini-fridge I bought weighs a ton (cause it's larger than most), all those boxes, etc.</p>

<p>Do we have to move out all of our belongings each break time? Or is it just recommended?</p>

<p>I believe you do have elevators in some buildings. But I was on the third floor of a building with no elevator, and I still managed to get a minifridge up the stairs. And mine was larger than most, too.</p>

<p>You get to leave your stuff in the dorms over break.</p>

<p>Thanks Liesel. I really hope so! My ‘mini-fridge’ isn’t all that mini to be honest. It’s 4.5 cu. ft! O.X</p>

<p>Looks similar to this: <a href=“http://hombasics.com/images/SMR04GAZCS.png[/url]”>http://hombasics.com/images/SMR04GAZCS.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I got a Fridge exactly the same size except it’s Kenmore. ahaha. I thought I was the only one that might have bought a fridge that big.</p>

<p>I managed to get a minifridge of similar size up and down from the third floor at a College 10 building. The thing is 10 years old so it’s heavier than some of the newer models. But it was more awkward than anything.</p>

<p>You’ll want at least one other person helping you. Bribe with cookies if you have to (I chose soda to bribe with myself). I’m fairly sure it was the female status I have, but I found no shortage of people willing to help me at College 10 over the summer.</p>

<p>Tilt the fridge on its side and carry it up horizontally. You will need to let it sit for a bit before you plug it in using this method, but it is a better way to distribute the weight to both people. I would also recommend walking up the stairs sideways with it. I tried going up backwards, but I only ended up hurting my lower back from how much I had to bend over to still hold up my end of the fridge. Have a trolley waiting for you at the top of the stairs so that you don’t have to carry the fridge the rest of the way to your room.</p>

<p>Good luck :). You’ll appreciate the minifridge all that much more if you do have a building with no elevator!</p>
