<p>Do these come standard in the Quad rooms, or must we bring our own?</p>
<p>You have to bring your own. The only dorms that come with them are the ones with an included kitchen</p>
<p>Some dorms, though, do have communal ones in the lounges for in each hall.</p>
<p>Does Penn offer a service through which you can rent one?</p>
<p>You should google the housing services for Penn. Most questions will be answered there. I did see a site listed to rent one.</p>
<p>Yes penn offers a combo microwave and fridge rental. Search the housing services website as she said.</p>
<p>Note, though, that the rental for the microwave/fridge combo is about the cost of purchasing your own microwave and refrigerator…</p>
<p>Yes rentals do tend to be just as expensive as purchasing over the long haul. An advantage might be that they deliver and pickup and you don’t have to figure out how to store.</p>
<p>Any idea where students store them during the summer?</p>
<p>On their website there doesn’t seem to be any ideas. Suggestions I’ve heard here are to store with a relative that lives nearby or find a friend who lives in place they don’t move out of (apartment).</p>
