Small Appliances

One of the most important appliances to have in your college dorm room, is, of course, a dorm microwave. Mini microwaves for dorm rooms are handy for a simple meal - from popcorn, to mac and cheese, some pizza, or anything in between - realizing how much you can do with a microwave will be a critical learning curve as you venture off. Other essential dorm room cooking appliances include a single serve coffee brewer to give you a jump before those early morning classes, or a blender for a quick smoothie to keep you full and healthy. While there are certain items you’re not allowed to keep in your designated room, there are other options. Many college dorms offer common spaces, or shared living areas where you can use different electronic items. This is a good place to keep items beyond microwaves, such as sandwich makers and toasters - sometimes even a portable cooking range. These can be stored in your room until needed, and simply moved to use and put back away.
