<p>I don’t think that Berkeley thing is true. The renovated colleges have air conditioned common areas, but I don’t think any of the dorm rooms have air conditioning besides the ones in Swing Space. It is way too time-consuming and expensive to add air conditioning when renovating. Plus, you only need air conditioning for the first 3 weeks and maybe the last one (although those three weeks can be torture). Even if the Berkeley thing is true, no freshman housing is air conditioned. Even in TD and Silliman.</p>
