During our Owl Days tour, our guide explained that some of the older colleges
were on line for air conditioning repairs. Will all the colleges be ready --
with nice cool air in each room -- by the time the freshmen arrive in August?
I don't think you're going to have any AC problems at Rice. The renovations on the old colleges are much more than just air conditioning repairs. Those aren't going to happen for a while, though. They've got to finish the new colleges before they can start significant renovations on the older colleges. By the way, the colleges getting repaired are Lovett, Will Rice, and Baker.
I have yet to enter any Rice building that wasn't cool to downright freezing. As air conditioning is very important in Houston, they won't let you down.
