<p>There is a ceiling light in each room, but you wont be supplied with your own lamp (although I don’t understand how this would function as an alarm clock…).</p>
<p>In general, don’t worry about things such as cooking supplies and mini fridges until you get your permanent room. First of all, its a pain to move stuff like that across campus if you end up changing dorms. Also, different living groups have different arrangements when it comes to kitchens / communal cooking supplies (probably why there isn’t an MIT-specific list). When you have your permanent room you can then figure out what you need to get, and what communal stuff you can use.</p>
