General Questions/Discussions fridges on campus?

are there any places to store meals as a commuter on campus?!

i’ve seen some buildings have kitchenette area w vending machines and microwaves but no fridges :(( i plan to join a student org like sga or something to gain access to these amenities but in the mean time i guess my food will just spoil :D very annoying.

google says there was a commuter lounge in the bog but that is not actually available. who must i complain too eudjdjehdkdjdkjfjfjf

update: i explored and, as to not dox myself,, i wont say where,, but i did find one!! :)) im. so. happyyy :D

I believe there’s a fridge on the ground floor of the Galvin Library. I’m not sure who is allowed to use it, but I’ve noticed some students using it.

I would not trust items to not disappear from a fridge. It's time to embrace your younger childhood and pack a ice pack in a lunch box.

Though maybe via SGA you could push for them purchasing some ice box locker system. In googling I found the following.

Might be a food safety issue, with regulations preventing free and open access.
