Students may have a microwave and a refrigerator as long as each is under 750 watts, UL approved, and in good condition. Toasters, coffee makers and hot pots are also allowed. Only one of each type of appliance is allowed per room. Any appliances with an exposed heating element (hot plates, toaster ovens, "electric grills," George Foreman grills, etc.) are not permitted for safety reasons. If extension cords are needed, please make sure that heavy-duty cords with a minimum of 14-gauge wire are used. If a power strip is necessary, please make sure that it is heavy duty with a self-tripping breaker. In order to help ensure that there is a clear exit from the room in case of emergency, tapestries cannot be hung from the ceiling or in front of the door. Finally, we do not allow halogen lamps due to fire safety concerns.
