I need to get a compact "dorm" refrigerator for a student (her old one
broke; her dorm has a kitchen rather than cafeteria, and she does
cook). What is a good cheap brand/store? She will need it at most for a
year, so used stores will fine too. I just don't know where they are in
Chicago.

You can find dorm-sized refrigerators at Walmart, Shopko, Target, etc. The
little square ones are about a hundred bucks.

Places like Office Depot, Staples or Office Max sometimes carry them
(they might be seasonal). Also try CostCo or a Sam's Club.

Maybe what you can find is a used smallish "real" fridge.

Compacts ice up so quickly and hold so little.

Thanks to all the responders. We found one for $59 at Best Buy.
(As Eric said, Walmart has one for $55, but BB is closer to our home
and we decided to splurge!)
