Question: Are electric kettles allowed in dorms?

Answer:

Electric kettles are allowed in some dorms, but the rules can vary depending on the school.

Many colleges permit electric kettles as long as they have an automatic shutoff feature for safety. However, some dorms have strict policies against any appliances with heating elements due to fire hazards.

It’s always best to check with your specific dorm’s regulations to be sure. If in doubt, contact your dorm’s housing office or check the school’s website for the most up-to-date information.
