Mini fridge (for college/beer, etc)

[GT1999]

I'm already planning for college next fall and I'm looking to purchase a mini-fridge as a present for myself for Christmas. I don't really think there's anything special I need to look for, but since there might be and I hate buying something until I'm really confident about it, I'm curious if anyone knows of anything I should look for (ie, name brands, specs, blah blah etc).

Otherewise I'm just going to pick a cheap one up from Super Walmart in town today

No suggestions. Might want to rent the micro-fridge, as most colleges offer it. Usually they don't allow microwaves in dorms these days.

Wait till people move out of the dorms and go jack one with a microwave and freezer built in...by the way they're nice to have....we jacked our dorm fridge and just paid the 80 bucks

So you want me to just walk into a dorm room and take one? Hah. I'm transferring from another school, so I don't even know which dorm I'm going to be in next year...

Or walk around the dorms after everyone moves out at the end of the year, you can get some good stuff. I picked up 3 of the small fridges that way, 2.5cubic foot ones. People are just too lazy to take them home I guess.

My score last May:
3 fridges
1 arm chair
1 living room table
1 couch
2 foldable chairs
1 night stand
1 night light
1 stereo (cassete is broken but the radio works)
and some other stuff

And my college is small (1800), imagine what it is like at big universities

Yes free sh!t at the end of the year rules!!! that how i get a lot of my cram. even picked up 2 17in moniters that only had a borken pin or 2. fixed them right up and they are workin fine

any most school DO allow microwaves thats wht they rent them out with fridges. they dont like Toaster Ovens. we have one anyway they come in really handy

and if you decid to by you own mini fridge get teh biggesy one you can you will thank your self later for this we have 4 in our room because they are all small as crap.

I love my contraband microwave!

They sell them on-campus for like $60. Don't bother buying one in advance, just more to carry. Use the freezer for frozen burritos and always remember to have a 32oz. of gatorade on stand-by for hangovers. Swigging from it liberally during the course of the night goes a long way in avoiding hangovers.
