North Carolina Central University Residential Life has a new partnership with BedLoft and MyCollegeFridge! You can now rent a fridge/microwave combo unit or purchase a rug for corridor or suite-style rooms in the Annie Day Sheppard, Chidley North, Eagleson, George Street, Lawson Street, McLean, Rush, Debra Saunders White, New Residence II, Richmond and Ruffin residence halls.

Amenities like a fridge/microwave combo unit will maximize your space and time and make your room feel more like home. This essential amenity can be rented from our trusted partner, MyCollegeFridge.com.

You can also purchase a 5’x7’ or 6’x9’ rug that comes in either navy, gray, and beige. Find out more about the rugs at MyCollegeFridge.com.

Orders need to be placed by July 28, 2025, to guarantee product availability and easy pick-up on the University’s official move-in day. Orders placed after this date will increase in price, and delivery may be delayed.

Students may bring their own mini-refrigerators (not to exceed 4.5 cubic feet). We encourage all students who bring their own refrigerators to purchase EnergyStar-rated refrigerators and microwaves. Microwaves should not exceed 900 watts. EnergyStar-rated appliances can be purchased at any major retailer, including Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowe's.

Microwaves are provided in the Alston Avenue and Martha Street apartments. Students residing in the Annie Day Sheppard, Baynes, Chidley North, Eagleson, George Street, Lawson Street, McLean, New Residence II, Richmond and Ruffin residence halls have 24-hour access to community microwaves.

Air fryers are only permitted in apartment-style housing (Alston Avenue, Eagle Landing and Martha St Apartments only). Air fryers must remain in the kitchen area. Convection and toaster ovens are prohibited in all residence halls. Air fryers can only be used and stored in the kitchen area of the apartment.
