MicroFridge Rental Program

Move-in day just got easier! Washington and Lee partners with The Melvin Corporation to offer MicroFridge rentals for students living in university-owned housing. Each MicroFridge combines a two-door refrigerator, zero-degree freezer, and microwave into a single unit that meets all university housing requirements. Complete product details and ordering information are available on the MicroFridge website.

Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the program for convenience and compliance with housing appliance guidelines. Proceeds from the program support W&L Housing & Residence Life.
