<p>Because I want to get a duvet of appropriate coziness,</p>
<p>How cold or warm are the dorms kept most of the year?</p>
<p>I never found it cold in the dorms. I lived in Keeny which is the largest dorm for (mainly) freshmen. I bought a duvet and never used it (I never made my bed ha!). </p>
<p>What I got for my bed was a soft layer to put under the bed sheet, and a nice comforter that I used for the winter/spring. </p>
<p>BTW the first few weeks on campus is HOT. Buy a fan! It gets warm during the first weeks and the end of spring.</p>
<p>I really appreciate that you are from L.A. too. Unlike advice from native Alaskans or New Yorkers, yours is easy to trust!</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>In my dorm, too, it was always warm. Although I’m from Massachusetts, my roommate was from Florida, and we turned the heat on maybe 3 times all year.</p>
<p>The coldest dorm is the Grad Center, and that’s not a freshman dorm. Many of the rooms in there are absolutely freezing.</p>
<p>My dorm freshman year was pretty warm, but there were a few rooms that had heating problems during the dead of winter. I was generally fine with sleeping in a t-shirt for the whole year.</p>
<p>It REALLY varies. My room was always plenty warm (often had to crack the window open, even in winter), but some people complained that their rooms were freezing.</p>
