Approved Appliances
Cooking in Benson, Tennessee, Georgia, and Johnson Residence Halls is limited to the following appliances: hot pots, popcorn poppers, blenders, coffee pots, refrigerators (not to exceed 6.0 cubic feet), and MicroFridges. Although microwaves, other than the MicroFridge, are not to be kept in the individual rooms, a microwave is available in each of the main residence halls for everyone’s convenience.
MicroFridge
The MicroFridge is a combination refrigerator/freezer and microwave oven that is designed for today’s student. It holds, stores, and prepares all the beverages, frozen foods, and microwave products that one regularly enjoys at home but in the compact space that you call "home" when you are away at school. The MicroFridge design is approved for several reasons: it requires only a single plug and automatically cuts off power to the refrigerator/freezer whenever the microwave is turned on so that it never draws more than 10 amps or overloads a circuit. The University leases these units on a first-come/first-served basis at a cost of $150 per year. Lease agreements are available through the Office of Student Development, 615-248-1245.
