<p>just a quick question before the big move in weekend, im in muir, and i need to know if they allow water boilers (and/or other heating type appliances, out of curiosity) . ive been told by my girlfriend colleges dont, but i cant find said rule. soooo, CC experts, do they?</p>
<p>edit: p.s. if not, could someone point out to me where said rule is specified?</p>
<p>i don't believe they are, but we had two in my [revelle] suite and never had any problems with it. you'll probably have to secure a copy of the housing contract ... but i won't be the one to do that for ya ;)</p>
<p>We had one in my room last year (ERC) and my friend in Revelle had one. We didn't observe any problems.</p>
<p>an outline of pretty much everything that is/isn't allowed at muir. it doesn't really say anything too specific about cooking to begin with but you should really be fine.</p>
<p>i don't see why not.</p>
<p>i'm bringing one</p>
<p>HOT PLATES AND COOKING APPLIANCES</p>
<p>Fire regulations dictate that no cooking appliances
with exposed heating elements are permitted. Students
found in violation will be directed to remove the appliance.</p>
<p>that's the most google's spitting out, from the ERC reslife handbook</p>
<p>team.katie's link was very helpful, i now also know more stuff than what i started out looking for, thanks.</p>
<p>and yeah, i found that line too, astrina. im still iffy on whether a water boiler has 'exposed heating elements'. on one hand, the metal plate at the bottom of each and every could be such, but on the other its always under water = no possible fire? oh, the dilemna. college has already begun.</p>
<p>just hide it well ... same goes for booze and other contraband.</p>
<p>(one guy across the way was growing a little weed plant under his bed ... got the lights and stuff rigged up and everything!)</p>
<p>wow O_O. and i was just thinking of putting an under-the-bed box. i see hes already working on his scholarship.</p>
<p>Under-the-bed hydroponics would make a nice dissertation topic</p>
<p>So does this mean no irons for the clothes?</p>
<p>lol i'm fairly certain that irons are allowed.</p>
<p>UC</a> San Diego Housing Rates and Services</p>
<p>it specifically states to bring an iron</p>
<p>at revelle parent orientation we were told to "take home" any items with exposed heating elements such as:</p>
<p>george foreman grills or similar sandwich grills
toasters
toaster ovens
hot plates
those water heating thingies that you stick into a cup to boil water</p>
<p>also verboten are:</p>
<p>halogen lamps
incense
candles
firecrackers, airguns & other firearms (duh)</p>
<p>on the OK list were:</p>
<p><500 watt microwave ovens
< 5 cu ft mini fridge
iron & ironing board
rice cookers
electric teapots</p>
<p>halogen lamps were OK in revelle if you had one of those wire covers installed over the bulb ... i just think they wanted to prevent anything from falling onto the bulb and catching on fire.</p>
<p>haha well my suitemate had a coffee maker and water boiler
and in our room we had a hot plate</p>
<p>so as long as you dont burn down the building i think youll be fine</p>
<p>well phrased gracie.</p>
<p>well phrased.</p>
