This fits the bill and is so great on the inside too - two adjustable shelves and a fruit/veggie drawer that comes out if needed, plus door shelves and a freezer for popsicles, ice cream, whatever!

Just be sure to understand if you are allowed to bring your own refrigerator into each of those settings - some schools have specific rules! :)

The Happy Fan
Just yes….a dorm room is too little space for too much stuff and so…many…smells - dirty laundry, wet towels, hours of overnight mouth open sleeping, take out, gym shoes, all shoes - it's like a whole mini world in there! This little purifier will make it all just disappear! It's tiny but can air cleanse about 250 square feet - perfect! Quiet/calming and makes your dormutopia healthy!!! Yep - that's a must! (Comes with one pre-installed filter right out of the box. Each filter lasts 4-6 months - depending on the workout your air gives it! Best practice is to change it at the start of each semester - or a little earlier if necessary - you'll notice the difference if it needs a change and you'll for sure always want your environment fresh and fancy!

College is for being better than the majority of humans - love the environment, love your body, love your clothes - and show the world how to do that better!
