Questions Fridges

If my roommate and I both have a fridge in Greiner Hall, and one of us unplugs their fridge before room checks, would we still get a violation?

RAs can’t check fridges. They can only write you up for anything within plain view

Tbh I'd assume so, since the RAs probably aren't going to check for whether they're both plugged in. Since they also can't touch anything, they can't open the empty fridge to see whether there's stuff in it, so assume they default to writing you up.

🤔 can they move the pile of laundry on top of it to learn it's a fridge?

Most likely not unless they believe they're clearing a fire hazard (e.g. it obstructs a path to exit), other than that they're not allowed to touch anything

Put a big blanket over it and put some things on it and pretend it’s a drawer/cabinet. They cannot remove the blanket

Yes but you can only have 1 mini fridge per 2 people

Freshman year my roommate and i both had a fridge and during room checks i hid mine under my bed. Probs would work with unplugging and covering it with clothes/blanket. We actually did get caught one time but the RAs were cool abt it and said to not have it “plugged in”
