MicroFridge®
Keep your study snacks within arm’s reach.
When you order your MicroFridge®—that’s a microwave atop a refrigerator with freezer—through us, we deliver it for free right to your room when the semester starts and pick it up at the academic year’s end. If you order three weeks before the semester begins, you can even have your MicroFridge® ready and waiting in your room when you get to campus for the fall semester. Changing rooms? We’ll move it for you to an on campus residence—on the house. Sorry, we will not deliver Microfridges to apartments that already have refrigerators.
Remember to order the Microfridge early. BU Vending sold out of Microfridges for the fall of 2024 so the earlier you order the Microfridge the earlier we can deliver it to your room.
The Fall applications for our MicroFridge and Electronic Safe has moved to the BU Housing portal. Please follow this link – www.bu.edu/myhousing – to complete the application. Once inside the housing portal, you will see the MicroFridge/Safe Rental application link across the top red ribbon. If you change residences before coming to campus send an emial to vending at BU.edu. Let us know your name, U-ID and the building and room you were originally assigned and the room you will be moving to so we can adjust the delivery.
If you live in one of BU’s dormitory-style residences, MicroFridge® is the only microwave allowed in your dwelling.
