MicroFridge vs. Mini Refrigerator

<p>A while ago I received a large envelope with various housing papers enclosed. One of these papers was advertising the ASUCD Refrigerator Service, which provided information about two refrigerator options: the MicroFridge and the Mini Refrigerator. It appeared to me that the MicroFridge is undoubtedly better than the Mini Refrigerator(the fridge is bigger and it has a microwave). On the paper, however, the MicroFridge is listed as $40 for 9 months, while the Mini Refrigerator is listed as $125 for 9 months. Convinced that I must be missing something, I stared at the page searching for a reason. I still don’t get it. Were the prices mistakenly reversed or is this information correct?</p>

<p>EDIT: Nevermind. I just realized that the back of the page lists the prices again, but this time it lists the MicroFridge at the higher price. In this case, I think it’s pretty obvious that the front page is a mistake.</p>

<p>Youre going for that? I dunno, I was thinking about it and didnt think it was going to be necessary. What are your reasons for wanting it, because our dorms have lounges with communal kitchens. </p>

<p>Just interested in knowing, because I might change my mind, too..</p>

<p>I doubt I will get either actually. I'm thinking about it though.</p>

<p>say you're studying for you final. suddenly, a nice cold beverage sounds really good. but do you really want to go all the way out to the lounge, possibly a couple floors down, just to get it? and besides, if it's a communal fridge, what are you going to do when someone just steals your drink, or questions the legality of it?</p>

<p>or what about if you get suddenly hungry for some reason, wouldn't a nice frozen dinner about 10 feet away sound really good?</p>

<p>^nice sales pitch mwang</p>

<p>Food in a communal refrigerator has been known to evaporate quickly. A bottle of soda might have a three minute half life after you leave the room. Purchasing a cheap refrigerator might be considerably less expensive in the long run. Microwaves sell for as little as $60 bucks in some big stores.</p>

<p>You guys do make good points in favor of getting one. I'll have to see what my roommate thinks.</p>

<p>Yea, was just thinking about it, if your roommate splits the cost it only ends up being about 60 or so, right? Thats not that bad for a whole year..</p>

<p>I ordered a Microfridge...</p>
