<p>I was just wondering if anyone could tell me which (if any) of the dorms on campus have air conditioning. </p>
<p>I am interested in doing the Civic Engagement program (1 credit, in-residence course with fieldwork requirements) at Barnard this Fall. However, I would have to live with others who are doing this program in singles and doubles in Elliott Hall. Although I am curious about all of the dorms, does anyone know specifically if Elliott is air conditioned? </p>
<p>Also, has anyone had experience living in a dorm that is not air conditioned? If so, is it really that bad? Were you really miserable for those first few weeks of school?</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, mardad! I know it's not something that would keep me from attending Barnard, but it's always nice to know what you're in for before you get there!</p>
<p>i could have sworn civic engagement was in plimpton. i'm doing civic engagement house (the not-for-credit one) and it definitely is in plimpton - i've already filled out my housing forms - and i was under the impression that the for-credit class was also there on different floors. regardless, both plimpton and elliott are air-conditioned. i'm living at barnard this summer in 600 (non AC) and i havent even needed to turn on my fan yet.. although i'm sure that'll change. it's really not that big a deal to not have AC, just bring a fan and drink lots of water. in fact it'll encourage you to get out of your dorm room and meet people.</p>
<p>You are correct. The civic engagement house is in Plimpton. I should have made my post more clear. I am not eligible to do the civic engagement house because it says that the opportunity is only offered to 2 sophomore transfer admits to join other sophomores, and I am a junior admit.</p>
<p>What I will be appying for is the for-credit course called Engagement and Communities in NYC, which features lectures and a field work requirement. The letter and the email that I was sent both said that I would live in a single or a double in Elliott with other students who are doing the program.</p>
<p>However, things may have changed since the letter and the email were sent out. It would make sense to have both programs in one hall - that way it's easier to come in contact with others who share your interests. Either way, I would be delighted to be a part of the program.</p>
<p>Once again, I appreciate the insight and the information.</p>
