The use of electrical appliances is limited because of safety and circuit-overload factors. Appliances such as lamps (except halogen bulb lamps), hair dryers, curling irons, etc. are permitted in all buildings. Personal air conditioners or heaters are not allowed in any residence hall unless the Housing Office grants special permission for health concerns. Microwaves are permitted only in the floor lounges. The use of electrical extension cords is prohibited in residential housing units. Fused powerstrips power strips are permitted, but because they are designed for small amp draw items, they should not be used for multiple larger appliances. Refrigerators that do not exceed 2.5 cubic feet in size or 1 kwh per day in energy consumption and are UL-approved may be used in all residence halls (not more than one per room). Full-size refrigerators are supplied in Hillside and Parkwoods, so additional refrigerators in these spaces are not necessary.
