GE Double-Door Compact Refrigerator

Even if you eat all your meals in a cafeteria, or have access to a shared kitchen, a mini fridge in your room is a must-have college accessory. The munchies can strike at all hours of the day, and a mini fridge also lets you keep a private stash of food and snacks away from hungry dormmates. Standing 33-inches tall, this $409 option from GE Appliances even manages to squeeze in separate fridge and freezer sections, letting you keep a reserve of Ben & Jerry’s as well.
