MicroFridge Rentals

FridgeMicroFridge rentals are available this year directly from Campus Specialties, Inc . The MicroFridge multipliance provides students with a convenient way to prepare and store snacks in their rooms. The MicroFridge comes complete with a microwave, freezer, and a refrigerator. Campus Specialties will set up the unit in student rooms and will pick it up at the end of the Spring Semester. If anything goes wrong with the unit, Campus Specialties will replace it. The MicroFridge is available for a yearly rental price of $179.99. Please note that only one MicroFridge or refrigerator/microwave is permitted per room.

Storage

Due to space restrictions, storage is not available on the University campus. Off-campus storage facilities are available in the local area. Students may also choose to contract directly with Collegeboxes, an outside vendor that can meet all of your summer storage needs. Collegeboxes is the only vendor with approved access to the residence halls for pick-up and drop-off of belongings to rooms/apartments. Visit www.collegeboxes.com for more information.

Because of the impact on parking and security concerns, drop-off storage pods are not permitted on campus.

Insurance for Personal Property

The University’s property insurance only covers property that is owned by the University. It is highly recommended that students insure their own personal property via their parent’s homeowners insurance or a renters/tenants insurance policy. It is important to confirm with your homeowners insurance carrier that student’s property (including computers and other electronics) will be fully covered for loss while housed outside of the family dwelling.

As stated in our housing contract, the University assumes no legal obligation to pay for loss of or damage to items of student’s personal property occurring on campus or in its buildings or storage areas.

For your reference, following is a list of insurance companies that offer renters/tenants insurance to college students. Please note that the University does not endorse any of the companies listed below.
