I bought my nephew a microwave to take to college with him. At the store I gathered up some plates, cups and bowls of varying sizes to be sure they fit in the microwave. No need to return the microwave for a different size.

Student Loan Options Other Than Federal Financial Aid
I am a sophomore in college. Due to unforeseen circumstances I was forced to drop out of school three times. The result is that my student loans are at the maximum allowed. Does anyone know of a student loan that is easy to be approved for college students, sort of like the federal loans where you get approved if you are in school. I will need financial assistance for two more semesters. My credit is not good.
