How Essential is the Microfridge?

<p>Hey just wondering wheter 200 some odd dollars is worth it w/ the microfridge… i mean im living in warren… are there any common rooms on the floors w/ a microwave/ fridge… hows that really work?</p>

<p>i think i could live w/ out one… but i want to make an informed decision…</p>

<p>any input would be very helpful…</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Well it's only half that cause you split the cost with your roomie.</p>

<p>For the most part, there are not any common fridges/microwaves.</p>

<p>I went without it one year, bur sort of wished I didn't. I like having something cold to drink all the time. It may or may not be a big deal to you. Either way, talk it over with your roommate first. You don't have to order one right away--there will be one in your room when you get there. If you don't want it, you just put it out in the hallway.</p>

<p>unfortunately, bu does not allow any 'cooking' device inside dorms, except the microfridge. expensive piece of junk that some people can live without, but others cannot. i would say get a small fridge and microwave, but if bu caught you then that would be just another reason for them to extract money from you. anyways, we all go to private school- $200 is nothing ;)</p>

<p>If money is an issue there are usually plenty of them for sale on Craigs List as students move out of dorms and into their own apt. There are often ones on sale on BUnite section of LiveJournal too.</p>
