<p>I am very sensitive to the heat. So much so, that I got heat exhaustion the first week I moved to Cal Poly. I’ve heard that most places in SLO don’t utilize air conditioning because it doesn’t get that hot here. I beg to differ. </p>
<p>Most of the classes on campus aren’t air conditioned, either. Is there anywhere on campus I can go to cool off?</p>
<p>In general, San Luis Obispo tends to be about 10 degrees cooler than So Cal, and is pretty comfortable. My daughters are adjusting to the cool mornings, warm/hot afternoons, then cool evenings (they dress in layers or change clothes during the day) However, I know it is extra hot now, 100+ degrees, since my daughters have been complaining about it. This will not last too much longer. For relief, check out the Rec Center - I believe there are areas inside with air conditioning. And there’s always the pool!</p>
<p>The UU! Anyways, it’ll eventually cool down. It just gets unusually hot the first few weeks of school for some reason.</p>
<p>Just like where I am in Santa Cruz, most of the year there is absolutely no need for A/C. In the summer when it gets a bit warm in our bedroom upstairs, we use a small turbo fan and it works just fine to cool us off.</p>
<p>These extremely HOT days in coastal towns and communities like SLO are short-lived and usually in early fall. Example: Yesterday in my town it was over 100. After three hot days, our temps dropped 40 degrees into the low 60s today. The marine layer came to save the day. I believe it was cooler in SLO than the previous days, as well.</p>
<p>I think most coastal communities think AC is a waste for most the year. Best suggestion is try to take classes in newer buildings as older buildings don’t have good AC.</p>
<p>I bet you’re not asking about A/C now. 
See how quickly the weather changes!</p>
<p>LOL 2 leashes you’re right on! The weather has (finally) cooled down. I guess I’m just used to Orange County where every building, room, and bathroom has air conditioning in it. I just couldn’t believe Slo reached 103 degrees a few weeks ago. I was told the average temperature here year round is 74 degrees, I have to keep in mind that that is AVERAGE, and not every day temps. Mark my words, pretty soon I will be complaining it is too COLD. Never satisfied…LOL</p>
