<p>What's the scoop on refrigerators or microwaves for freshmen?
Is there a rental service fro Microfridges?
Are freshmen permitted to have separate fridge and microwave?
When do roommate assignments get mailed?
Thanks.</p>

<p>There is a rental service available... You will receive more information in regards to that with your roommate stuff....
Yes, you can have a separate fridge and microwave. Fridge must be under 4.3 cubic feet.
The assignments should be coming any day now.</p>
<p>yeah...the rental service is useful if you're not in driving distance and/or don't want to have to transport or store the fridge and microwave...it can be a bit costly though every year...</p>
<p>Freshman can have both fridges and microwaves, but they tend to take up a lot of space especially if you live in Sue B or if your roommate brought his/her own set. Try to get into contact with your roommate and coordinate early. :)</p>
<p>I always thought that the rental services were a rip-off.</p>

<p>Each floor of Susan B Anthony (there are six floors of dorm rooms) has a common kitchen equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, oven, stove, sink, yada yada. But those appliances do tend to get messy... people are such pigs. Pray your freshman class isn't extra clumsy/forgetful/daft. You might have to deal with numerous late night fire drills because someone left cookies in an oven or a bag of popcorn in a microwave that caught fire/set off the alarm.</p>
<p>I do not believe there are refrigerators in the Gilbert and Hoeing common kitchens.</p>
<p>I found all the the kitchens to be poorly ventilated. Be careful while cooking! It's good to have some practice before you head off to college. :)</p>
<p>what might be better is to buy a second hand one on line or even a new one and then sell it at the end of the year.</p>
<p>Also, a lot of seniors are selling theirs. </p>
<p>the best way , that i'm doing is, my room mate actually lives in Rochester so he's gonna bring a fridge and just keep it at his house over the summers</p>
