In most cases, moving your entire world — clothes, books, furniture, decor, appliances, and more — into a single small room that you most likely have to share with another person means downsizing. Dorm room living often requires leaving behind some of that stuff and buying new more miniature versions of others. Perhaps most important among those new petite possessions in a mini-fridge.

Since the mini-fridge is a staple of dorm room decor, cramped college apartments, and even some post-grad pads, we tracked down the top-rated compact refrigerators from several different online retailers. Even if you'll be starting the semester from home in the fall, you may be turning your bedroom into a quasi-work space that'll need to be stocked with study snacks.
