The decision is up to you and what you need.
Mini refrigerators that don’t come with an automatic ice dispenser do come with a small tray that will make ice the old fashioned way. Some come with drawers to hold vegetables and the like. These mini fridges come with both a freezer and refrigerator component. If you are a college student entering the dorm for the first or fourth time, a mini refrigerator is almost always a staple at the top of your dorm accessories list. Just be sure when buying a mini fridge for your dorm room that you know exactly what it is you will need, or might need and purchase accordingly. Many online sites offer outdoor refrigerator specific sections revolving around mini refrigerators. These small ice boxes come in a variety of styles making it perfect for anyone and any situation. If however you will only be using it for drinks and snacks than a smaller mini fridge will be a better choice for you. This of course could cause a hindrance when the year is up and you move to new dorms, unless you decide and to room together for the remainder of your college life.
