I had a frige in my dorm room in 1977. We weren’t allowed to have microwaves. They were huge then anyway and cost hundreds.
One water boiling plug in pitcher for ramen soup and a popcorn popper.
Room came with a cafeteria plan. Good and plentiful.
Lucky you. We could only have a popcorn maker. I borrowed mother’s old one and it had a coil in the bottom so could use it as a burner. Hey, gotta think outside the box sometimes.
Yes, to the homecooking meal plan but it was only M-F. No fast food type meals. Our SS# was our ID used out in the open for meals and posted grades and no one thought to steal it. No one thought a thing about skin color until my senior year when we were inundated with Iranians who despised everything about the US so ruined the whole college experience.
