<p>if you rent a fridge from <a href="http://www.micro101.com/ucb%5B/url%5D">http://www.micro101.com/ucb</a> how do you rent a microwave if you're not allowed to bring it?</p>
<p>are you supposed to split the cost of the fridge? if so, how?</p>
<p>do most people rent from this site?</p>
<p>Even though you're not allowed to bring it, i heard some bring it and hide it.</p>
<p>you're not allowed to bring a microwave? i had my micro out in the open, you're allowed to bring one i'm sure...unless it's a new rule, if so, that's horse malarchy, hide it then.</p>
<p>There's a "new" rule about refrigerators and microwaves. They want everyone to rent because of the Campus Green Program...</p>
<p>I am moving back into a mini-suite and I called Housing and they said it was okay to bring a refrig and microwave I have from last year so maybe they aren't going to enforce it...</p>
<p>That's just ridiculous...I can't believe Berkeley would do that.</p>
<p>hold on.....so are we really not allowed to bring fridges if not bought from that one place...!!?!?</p>
<p>eff that man, don't follow that jack ass rule.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm really questioning how much this is going to be enforced, because it's just going to **** hordes of students off.</p>
<p>eh...i really don't like that "rent a fridge" rule...
they're just trying to rip all the students off!!</p>
<p>^^ my gf's an RA and they've never heard of the rule, so i doubt they're enforcing it...it's prolly more of a strong suggestion</p>
<p>^^ That's great to hear!! :-)</p>
<p>The only reason to rent is if you have absolutely no intention of keeping the appliances for the following year. </p>
<p>Since you all know your roommates by now, it would be a good idea to contact them so you can coordinate what to bring. </p>
<p>Try for a fridge with a freezer compartment. They generally don't run over $200 and can be had for much less.</p>
<p>LOL, you can buy a brand new fridge + microwave for a fraction of the price it costs you to rent them for a year. You're better off buying them and throwing them out at the end of the year than renting (if you don't need them anymore, that is).</p>
<p>I contacted my roommate and she doesn't know what she's gonna bring or what she wants to split. I hate indecisive! So I guess I'm kinda stuck with buying/renting on my own, oh well.</p>

"Please don't bring a refrigerator from home."
I'm going assume that's just a request, not a command.</p>
<p>The real question is, are a refrigerator and microwave both necessary for the dorming experience?</p>
<p>my roommate hasn't responded to my email I sent a while ago... suggestions for what I should do?</p>
<p>sparetire: microwaves and fridges come in quite handy. for example....the day of the cal-usc game, being in the hall government at bowles, we had a giant bbq with tri-tip.
meanwhile, my entire floor split some cash, and we bought a ton of beer and stacked it in my fridge. keeping beer cold is an absolute necessity of the dorming experience.</p>
<p>and microwaves are good to have for macaroni.</p>
