Microfridges Heading link
Campus Housing partners with Bedloft.com to provide the optional amenities of a microfridge. These items can be ordered online and setup in your unit prior to your arrival when ordered early.
Residents may bring a refrigerator less than 2.9 amps and 4.6 cubic feet and stand-alone microwaves under 1000 watts (permitted only in SSR), we recommend renting from Bedloft.com because all of their products are department-approved, guaranteeing that your product will meet our policies. For residents living in residence halls other than SSR, a Microfridge rental from Bedloft has a microwave as part of the design!
Bedloft.com provides free on-site service throughout the entire academic year creating continuous ease and convenience from start to finish.
Please place your order by August 4 for best pricing and to ensure your items are in your room and assembled by Move-In Day.
