Ok, listen up.

There is AC in most of the dorms, but if you are like me, you’re going to get stuck with the oldest dorm (and of course NO AC).

It is pretty hot at some periods of the year, BUT, even if you don’t have an excuse (allergies), all of the RAs that I’ve talked to in duty of the older dorms (including mine) “look over” - aka not care if you have an AC unit installed without permission.

Another thing that they try to hide is that the “roomate selection quiz” is complete BS, it is just there to make you feel like you are being paired up (source = my RA). Dorms are assigned alphabetically by first name, not by actually matching up people with people that they are compatible with. This is def true in our hall, and especially evident in my quad room - All 4 of our first names start with the same letter. Our neighbors are the letter of the alphabet behind ours.
