Hi, don't know if this has been discussed or not but thought I'd post just to make sure people are aware.

If you're planning on moving into student halls for university and are thinking about storing your insulin in a mini/tabletop fridge in your own bedroom out of the way of flat mates like I am, then you need to email your university beforehand and clear it with them as most universities have a policy which states appliances such as fridges aren't allowed in bedrooms.
