I don't know . . . I mostly drew into whitman because it was new and awesome (last year I was a freshman in butler), but i've thought about staying there all four years. i'm not all that into the club scene, but i tend to be pretty busy so i don't know if i'd have time to be fully independent. with all the hype about whitman's food being so amazing, maybe i will stay there! i'll have to see once i get to campus next month.
by no means will they ever turn the AC on in the dorm rooms

they turn ac off once it gets cold, so when you move in there will be ac assuming that its hot. Once it gets cold, you no longer need ac, instead there are individually controlled temperature units. In may the ac comes back on.
so.... does anyone know for sure whether the ac will be used for dorm rooms when it's hot? sorry to drag this conversation on, but i just want to know if i should bring a fan!!
the air conditioning is currently on in all of the dorm rooms in whitman. As it is summer and no one is living there and it is on, it seems silly of them to not leave it on for the students. THe units are also individual, so it seems kinda hard to turn them off centrally, although it would be possible I suppose. No one will really know until we get there
Definitely bring a fan. I have not heard of Princeton ever leaving air conditioning on for us during the year, simply b/c it wouldn't be fair for people in dorms without it. And even though they may be individual units, they definitely can centrally control that, just like they do when they turn it off in Forbes. So, bring a fan!!
