<p>You’re not allowed to bring a portable air conditioner, but there’s no way they would find out. During a room check, a firefighter comes in and glances around the room. If they spot anything you’re not allowed to have (besides something completely illegal like alcohol/drugs), they tell you to remove it. You agree and then don’t. They don’t come back. If you’re not in the room, they just knock and never come back. There are room checks once a semester.</p>
