<p>Hello Columbians,
I just have a small question on the fridge status in Columbia. I was wondering whether it is better to rent or buy a fridge on my own, it would be great if anyone would tell me approximate prices. </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>You can get a nice mini-fridge for $50-75.</p>
<p>When I was there, renting a fridge for 1 year was about $75. And the fridges they provided were dented and sometimes rancid.</p>
<p>Storing your purchased fridge every summer is a pain and expensive. But do the math-- overall it is better to get your own.</p>
<p>Buy one. By the time my brother was in junior year, he was living in EC and managed to sell his fridge to a freshman for half of what he paid to buy it. All told, he spent $35 to "rent" a new fridge for 2 years.</p>
<p>Not bad.</p>
