Are microwaves allowed in dorms in UB?

Use of microwaves, toasters, toaster ovens, hot plates, and appliances with exposed heating elements are strictly prohibited in student residence hall rooms and apartment bedrooms. Small appliances (including George Foreman grills) can be used only in designated kitchen areas.

Does an off-campus apartment count as room and board?

Room and board include the cost of housing and a meal plan. Colleges typically have room and board budgets for students who live on campus in college-owned or operated housing, for students who pay rent to live off-campus in an apartment, and for students who live off-campus with their parents or other relatives.

What isnt allowed in a college dorm?

A space heater If youre a cold person, then you might think that taking a space heater to college with you is a great way to stay toasty, but this is another item thats banned in most dorm rooms, simply because of the fire risk. Opt for cozy blankets instead and stock up on cute sweatshirts.
