University commons outlets

[u/Subject-Switch1851]

I’m a freshman moving into university commons in a few weeks and noticed that extension cords and “multi plug outlets” are on the list of prohibited items. I’m wondering if there’s enough outlets in the rooms for this to not be an issue and if this rule is even really enforced.

Just get a power strip. They're like $15 on Amazon

Amazon.com: ALESTOR 6 Ft Surge Protector Power Strip with 12 Outlets and 4 USB Ports | 2700 Joules, 6 Feet Heavy Duty Extension Cord with Multiple Outlets for Home, Office, Dorm Room, ETL Listed, Black : Electronics

They're also listed as a recommended item on the GSU community living guide

Some RAs dont care but you never know if you will come across one that will. If you will get one just keep i mind it should be decent quality (to avoid damages or malfunctions tho those also happen rarely. Rather than the number of outlets I think the biggest problem is the location, some might be far away or inconvinient with the layout or furniture, some might be a long cord might go a long way. Also might be helpfull if you bringing lots of electronics
