Vendor Information
Mini-Fridge Units
MicroChill units (combination of a mini-fridge and microwave) are available for rent in our traditional residence halls through our approved vendor CollegeProducts.com.
As a reminder, these combination units are set up specifically to work in a way such that the refrigerator portion is suspended while the microwave is in use. Order by August 1st to have your unit delivered before your arrival.
Students interested in bringing their own units may do so, however, only a mini-fridge will be accepted, but not a separate microwave. Use of the combination units are approved via our Fire Safety guidelines and students are not allowed to bring in microwave units of their own.
Small woodframe houses (e.g., Fraternity/Sorority, Special Interest/Theme, and Language houses) as well as apartment-style locations (e.g., CoHos, Latin Way, Sophia Gordon, Hillside, 9-11 Sunset and 10 Winthrop) serve a smaller population with access to a full kitchen. If students are interested in renting or purchasing a smaller unit for their individual space, they may do so.
No more than one (1) microchill unit should be present per room. Connect with your roommate to confirm who is renting the item so that you have the most space available in your room!

Storage & Shipping Options
Tufts University is working with Dorm Room Movers to provide storage and shipping options to residential students. Please visit Tufts’ Dorm Room Movers page for more information about packing, pick up, delivery, and cost.
If you store items with Dorm Room Movers, please consider that Dorm Room Movers might not be able to deliver your items to campus the same day that you move in for fall 2024, especially if you’re approved to arrive early. Please pack accordingly if you will need bedding or other linens immediately upon your arrival in August/September.
