Most students own a portable music device such as a CD player or iPod. These are great because you can use your headphones when you don’t want to disturb your roommate or when you want to block out some noisy neighbors. If you’re going to purchase a portable music device, consider cost, size, and compatibility with other electronics you own. Finally, there is always the question of microwaves and refrigerators. These items have become standard components of the modern residence hall room. Most colleges have a rental plan for combination refrigerator/microwave units. The advantage of renting is that you don’t have to haul the unit to and from college, and if it breaks, the college will replace it quickly at no cost to you. The disadvantage is that over three or four years, it’s cheaper to purchase your own units.

Before you decide to purchase a refrigerator or microwave, read the material from your housing office. Some campuses prohibit cooking in dorm rooms, including use of microwaves and coffeemakers. Most schools have a restriction on size and electricity usage for refrigerators as well.
