Appliances & Furnishings

Refrigerator and Microwave Rental (Collegiate Concepts, Inc.)

We are excited to continue offering a campus refrigerator and microwave rental program. The MicroFridge unit consists of a microwave oven and a refrigerator with a separate freezer, all in one integrated unit. The MicroFridge has patented circuitry, which prevents blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers while reducing energy consumption. It works off one electrical cord, meets the university's electrical and safety requirements, and is Energy Star rated. Since it includes a separate true zero-degree freezer, the freezer can store frozen foods including ice cream for extended periods. The MicroFridge will be delivered to your room before the residence halls open in August and collected from your room after May finals. 

A limited number of units are also available to CUA students for the spring or summer term...visit the Web site for more information or to place your order.
