Thread: Power outlets in new superdorms

There are both 110V and 220V outlets in the superdorms. But I don't remember if there are outlets in the bathroom or kitchen.

No outlet in the bathroom, no outlet in the kitchen. You only get one outlet, the one under your desk & your roommate has theirs.

so do you have to buy a special adapter for your laptop to charge there?

Nope. It's a 110V outlet and you use it like the one @ home in the states. Since you often need to plug in more than one thing at a time, do bring along a power strip.

consider brining a surge protector. wouldn't wanna fry your computer in Grenada

Can anyone xplain the type of prong used in the dorms for the 110V 60Hz plug?

Is it a polarized 2 prong plug.

or is there also a ground pin?

They are grounded... the top example in your illustration. And its not 60Hz... it's 110V/50Hz.
