<p>ok. i've sent my apps for the exploration, but my choices were kind of regualted by the fact that some dorms have an a/c. i noe that its tough over the summer, but is it ok in the winter? are there heaters in the room?</p>
<p>also, anyone had experience with the world religions exploration?</p>
<p>bump...anyone???</p>
<p>Yes, the rooms are heated in the winter. They're not QUITE barbarians. ;)</p>
<p>Bring a fan for the hot weeks.</p>
<p>A lot of schools don't have AC, I went to school in Upstate New York, and it was burning up until October. Just go to Lowes and purchase a blower (not a fan - blowers are more powerful than plain fans, plus they're great for drowning out unwanted noise in dorms), and it's exactly like having Air Conditioning at only 30 bucks.</p>
<p>Living in the city without a/c is hell for several weeks at the beginning and the end of the school year. Don't let anyone tell you that fans are as good as a/c. It's just not true.</p>
<p>So I'm assuming that having a bunch of people in your dorm during a hot week would just be impossible with all the body heat.</p>
<p>Exactly. That and the fact that many of the windows don't open very far.</p>
<p>No a/c was not a problem for me. It MIGHT be a bit uncomfortable for the first 2 weeks and the last 2 weeks. Bring a small fan and you should be fine.</p>
