<p>Can we bring both microwaves and mini fridges from home? What about water boilers? I know UCLA has the micro-fridge combination, but that seems really expensive and I've heard they're not worth it. What if I just bring one or both from home?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any help!</p>
<p>Oh, by the way, this is for the dorms. I’ll be staying in Hitch if that makes any difference.</p>
<p>They said you can’t bring anything that poses a fire hazard. There is an exception, which are micro-fridges. basically its a microwave attached to a fridge and i have no idea why they wont allow microwaves alone.</p>
<p>Technically bringing your own microwave/water heater isn’t allowed, but it’s not a big deal. I had both, and nothing happened even when the RAs saw it.</p>
<p>bring them and hide them during inspection wks-usually wk 7 and 8 =]</p>

<p>Some RAs are stricter than others so don’t count on it.</p>

<p>The fridge is no problem. You can leave it out in the open. I just wanted to make that clear.</p>
<p>You can put the microwave anywhere you want. Just make sure to cover it with a towel or blanket during inspection week because they are not allowed to go through your things.</p>
<p>I had my microwave on top of my fridge and covered it with a towel.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for the great responses! Definitely helped me plan my room out a bit more :)</p>
<p>We brought in a microwave and fridge. As said before, if you cover them, no matter how obvious, they aren’t allowed to touch your stuff during inspection. I think they can ask you to remove it though, so get out of the room when they come by.</p>
<p>Also, don’t be the person who burns stuff in the microwave and sets off the fire alarm during finals week. The entire building will hate you.</p>

<p>I’m glad my days of dorm fire drills are over.</p>
