I’m a sophomore living in a dorm with 4 other roommates. Two of them are great and we hang out all the time but the other two are just awful. We were friends but then they stopped hanging with the rest of us for no reason we know of, constantly getting mad at the state of our dorm and went we point out that a lot of the mess is theirs they come up with excuses but the worst is the fight over the air conditioner. They constantly fight with me to keep it 66-69 when all I ask is they keep it 70 or higher and honestly in the late fall-early spring there should rarely be a need for the a/c when we have really good fans and windows, but they still fight me to keep it cold. I’ve told them I have issues with my blood counts and get cold very easily and when its that cold even in sweats I freeze and get lethargic. They don’t care, they say it’s my problem even though no one else likes it that cold. It’s against the rules to have heaters in our rooms but they can have as many fans as they want. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m tired of getting called a bitch when I turn the a/c off because I have medical issues.
Get a space heater for your room or flat out bribe them to keep it at your preferred temp.
It sounds like you aren’t really going to convince them, so I would say your best option is to just wear a coat or use blankets inside if you are cold. Taking hot showers is a good way to warm up too. Maybe you could try putting it to a vote if you have 2 other roommates that agree with you, but that might not work
There are only a few weeks left to the term right? Get different roommates.
We actually have our place until July so its a few more months before new roomates and yeah they know they’re put numbered for who wants the it warmer but they dont care theyll listen for us to change it and change it within a minute or so and wait until we go to sleep, even if its at a ridiculous hour just so they can change it
