Mini Fridge
$149.99🍳 Kitchen & Food Essentials
Cold drinks, yogurt, fruit, leftovers from the dining hall, late-night snacks — a mini fridge keeps them all within arm's reach. The 3–4.5 cubic foot size is the sweet spot for dorms: big enough to hold real food, small enough to fit under a raised bed or in a corner. Coordinate with your roommate so you don't end up with two.

What to Look For
- Check your dorm rules — some schools restrict appliances like hot plates and toasters
- Compact size that fits on a shelf or mini fridge top
- Easy to clean — you probably will not have a dishwasher
- BPA-free and food-safe materials
Pro Tip: Coordinate kitchen appliances with your roommate. One person brings the mini fridge, the other brings the microwave. No one needs two of either.
