Dining hall food can get old pretty quickly. Plus, walking through campus in bad weather makes it a hassle. Make sure your student has plenty of backup food options with a Sharp Countertop Microwave Oven in their dorm room. Not only is it the perfect way to escape the dining hall, but it also will provide them with all the late-night study snacks they’ll need! We have a few quick reads that provide microwave cooking and cleaning hacks.  Our personal favorite? Popcorn, of course!

Three of our favorite microwave ovens for college students are the SMC1139FS, SMC1585BB, and SMC0710BB. Whether you’re searching for a microwave oven that Works with Alexa, has convection cooking capabilities, or is compact in size, a Sharp microwave oven is a great addition to any college space.

After a long day of classes and studying, relaxing in bed is a great feeling. Sitting in bed with freshly popped popcorn or your favorite microwave meal is the key to unwinding. Maximize the experience with a mattress topper. Mattress pads can make college mattresses more comfortable. Choose a mattress topper that fits your needs to make the most of your relaxing time.
