<p>I'm assuming that they try to group freshmen on floors together, right? Does anyone know if there are freshman floors in (non-special living option) dorms with air-conditioning...for instance, would LaPlata have a whole freshman floor?</p>
<p>(I wish they would do it like Penn State, where you get assigned to your dorm room first, and if you need a/c, they just give you a window unit!)</p>
<p>I went to something last fall and here is what I remember the guy talking about how there was no a/c and it was really hot but he wouldn’t change the experience for anything because of the friends he made there (among his class).</p>
<p>So I’m thinking no a/c (big problem for me too. I am a winter person, as long as I’m wrapped up in a nice warm sheet) but great experience. something you gotta live through.</p>
<p>This guy was honors in denton though. </p>
<p>But I actually saw with my own eyes during the overnight this freshmen living in a suite. There was air conditioning and it was pretty nice (it was Anne Arundel) but she wasn’t happy because all of her friends were in the un-a/c-ed dorms. Go figure.</p>
<p>All I can say is…don’t expect to much. Housing at MD can get pretty ugly. In my experience. But it’s that way at any state school.</p>
<p>No A/C isn’t really that bad… the first couple weeks are a tad warm, but open your windows, get a few fans and place them strategically, and it’s all good.</p>
<p>Strategically? I like that.</p>
<p>Usually they do group freshmen together on A/C floors in non-freshmen dorms.</p>
<p>DS is a freshman in Queen Anne (non-frshman Honors a/c dorm) and his floor consists of upperclassmen. There may be some scattered freshman, but I hear more about the sophs and juniors.</p>
