MicroFridge Rentals
For the convenience of our students and to help minimize our carbon footprint, we have partnered with Standards For Living so you may rent an Energy Star rated compact refrigerator/freezer/microwave unit called a MicroFridge. Our partners will deliver your unit to your room before you arrive and pick it up after you move out, so you never have to worry about moving your appliance! The deadline for requesting a unit this year is August 20. Learn more and sign-up on their website.
