<p>I got the shock of my life today when i found out that my dorm room has no AC. I'll be attending U of Florida where the temperature hit 90 degree regularly in the summer and fall.<br>
Has anyone here been through such a sticky situation?</p>
<p>I haven't been in many dorms that do have AC. Just buy a couple fans and sweat it out.</p>
<p>Well if it comforts you, most of the dorms at USC (in sunny LA) are non-air conditioned too. (However, I confess that I was lucky to get one of the few AC dorms. :D)</p>
<p>Check with your school to see if they will allow a window AC unit. Such units cost around $100, but will be quite helpful if you can have one.</p>
<p>...and if they don't allow a window AC unit, get one anyway.</p>
<p>My dorm doesn't allow them, but I do not care. And it's nice and cool in here right now... ;)</p>
<p>Lol, mollie. You're quite the rule breaker, if I remember correctly from some of your other posts.</p>
<p>my brother had the same situation with heat during the winter at a SUNY school. he bought a heater that looks like a fan and hid it when not in use. theres always a way to get away with things like this. lol.</p>
<p>put a fan in the window and one by your bed and you'll be fine.</p>

<p>Holy crap! That's freaking amazing! If that works, I'll love you forever. And I do mean FOREVER.</p>
<p>Haha, I only break rules that I consider stupid! :D</p>
<p>That's a good philosophy.</p>
<p>ur like Gandhi!</p>
<p>Where you plan on finding frozen water daily for that personal air conditioner?</p>
<p>I dunno...your mini fridge? I may get it...it's not really practical, but once in a while, my dorm's AC will be busted, so it'll be helpful sometimes. I think I'll use it more of a novelty device than anything else.</p>
<p>heh. have you seen how small the freezer parts of those mini fridges are?...good luck!</p>
<p>is shoot myself without AC</p>
<p>This is why its better to stay home for college/</p>

<p>Now that's very very arguable...</p>
<p>Depends on your fridge. I have those 4 cu feet ones.</p>
