<p>Does anyone know when the central air is turned on or off in Dupont?</p>
<p>Do students who reside in Dupont feel they are removed from the campus? Is there a good social life in that Dorm area or do the students have to go to the heart of the campus to find activities?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Air is turned on and off based a several days of the temp being at a certain level. I can't remember the exact temp. My son currently lives there and has not had any problems, temp or otherwise. He is very close to his hall mates and very involved on campus. I do not think he feels isolated in anyway from the rest of the campus. It's a big dorm with a lot of hall activities as far as I can see.</p>
<p>Yeah, there are lots of dorms on that side of campus so there is always stuff going on. I've never heard of any complaints with the AC.</p>
<p>Thanks for the information. I appreciate it.</p>

<p>Dupont is close to lots of stuff. The Caf, the IM sports fields, Yates, and Botetourt (and the frats).</p>
<p>W&M is a pretty small campus... you can walk across it in 10-15 minutes. =)</p>
