<p>After coming back from orientation, I was worried the heat would be too much when I moved to BU. I felt very sick and lightheaded. I thought I had a fever and was going to throw up. I live in Texas, but my house has AC and anywhere you go does too. No one spends much too outside. But after the second day at orientation I felt a little bitter. I was on the 11th floor or something too. But man, it sure is hard to sleep with the heat. At least the dorm I got into has AC.</p>
<p>You'll be fine with a fan. We use just fans all summer and do OK. You'll only have a few, if any, really hot days.......and it tends to cool down at sundown. It doesn't stay 90 overnight....and sometimes its actually cold at night.</p>
<p>NX - "But after the second day at orientation I felt a little bitter." I hope you felt a litter better! For being so HOT 24 hours a day, Texas produces no tolerance to heat because it is unbearable when its 100 degrees at 10:00 pm. It is almost weirdly quiet to me to be in an unairconditioned building. You hear all the little noises that are normally blocked out. I'll need a loud fan to give me white noise in absence of AC. And it's going to keep me from dying.</p>
<p>I'm totally fine now. But yeah, sometimes heat can get to you if you don't watch out.</p>
