OP can ask for/apply for a medical waiver/disabilities accommodation. Colleges & universities do this quite often for medically documented & medically necessary reasons. Plus, if classified as a disability, permission may be required under federal law.

The OP can make this request with sufficient documentation. But really…one week before the term ends? It will probably take longer to get the accommodation in place…and then go get an AC unit or have the school install one…the term will likely end first.

At this point…the OP needs to compromise with the roommate. If it’s really hot outside, then opening the windows isn’t going to cool things down.

If the OP has seasonal allergies…a closed window or AC might not solve this issue. My kids both have seasonal allergies…when the pollen pops out, we all take Claritin. Really…does the OP plan to NOT go outdoors until the spring allergy season passes? You know…you also get pollen on your clothes when you go outside.

I would suggest that the OP study elsewhere. I know that it’s her room…blah blah blah. But the week before the term ends, it’s not likely that she and her roommate are going to agree on the window issue.
