<p>I was wonderin if it was possible to request an AC room, or are those rooms randomly distributed out?</p>
<p>I think at this point, you can't request to be put in an AC dorm (unless you're doing "reassignment," which can be a pretty messy process and isn't always fruitful). You can, though, request to have a window unit installed in your room if you have a doctor's note saying that you have allergies... and in most cases, this should be phrased as "allergies."</p>
<p>If you're an incoming student for this year, its too late to request such as seahorse pointed out. Otherwise, you can request one as Class of >2010, though there's no guarantee you'll get one. I heard that AC IS being installed during upgrades to some of the dorms over the next decade, but I wouldn't bet on it happening in time for you</p>
<p>yeah lots of people use that <em>allergies</em> trick. On another note, all East RA's have A/C in their rooms so something to keep that in mind for sophomore year</p>
<p>don't hate the allergies trick:) my roommate did it. of course she actually does get really bad migraines and stuff so that kind of made those days more pleasant for her, although the AC was never a necessity.</p>
<p>You have to pay about a decent amount of money for the AC window unit though...it's not like we got it for free. I believe you can still apply for a window unit...I don't think my roommate did until after we found out we were in Jarvis because I remember having to return a bunch of fans. If you have a legitimate reason for having AC contact them. </p>
<p>PS: You have to have proof, as in from a doctor. They won't generally give it to you without.</p>
