So apparently microwaves aren’t allowed in the dorms, but I only learned this after my parents had already bought me one. Does anyone know if its feasible/safe to bring it along anyways? What are the voltage requirements?
I think you can check on the website for this.

I rented a microfridge combination for $199 from here: https://www.mymicrofridge.com/
Don’t bring anything on the forbidden list. Microwaves are only permitted in the townhouses. They do come through and check once or twice a year. If you can’t return it, save it for next year (or the year after) when you’re in an apartment. Not sure how high the fine is, but it just isn’t worth it. They’re pretty serious about fire safety and don’t allow many appliances.
