A dorm room freezer?

Are there dorm room freezers?

What I really need is a dorm room freezer, not a fridge. I was looking for a bar fridge, but if you read the manual, you can see these things actually can't store frozen food for very long. They don't get cold enough. Also, the freezer is too small. I thought of jerry rigging the thermostat, but.....

I've got my food strategy all worked out, but it involves a lot of freezing. I looked into those coleman electric coolers, too, but they totally don't freeze anything. They don't go below 20 deg. C less than ambient.

Any solutions floating around out there? I want a cooler than can freeze stuff down to minus 4 or so I guess.

There are a whole bunch of little freezers here on Amazon. (I think 1-2 cubic ft is "dorm sized").

I asked this a few months ago.

Ah, okay, I did search first though. Hm. Well, they exist, but the problem now lies in aquiring one..... I'm in canada, and amazon.com doesn't ship here, amazon.ca doesn't have stuff like this.

Try yahoo shopping - canada. By search turned up two possibilities if you are willing to go with a chest freezer.
