<p>Hey fellow CC'ers...</p>

<p>I'm attending the Yale 2006 JSA summer program and on the packet it said... that Yale dorms wouldn't have AC and that QUOTE "the wiring in the rooms don't allow AC". </p>

<p>So a few questions. A) Can i bring an AC and assume they are just lying to me?
B) How HOT does it get during July?
C) Anything FUN to do off-campus?
D) Will getting a transcript for AP Gov't from Yale JSA help for admissions toward Yale?</p>

<p>Please respond, and if you had done JSA summer programs before- how was it? Thx~~</p>

<p>a- no, Yale doesn't like fire hazards. some windows won't even allow an AC.
b- first weeks of september were bad, if that helps
c- heck yes, New Haven is fun to explore, preferably in groups
d- dunno</p>

<p>no ACs makes sense, Yale is old. and the dorms are made to house us during the fall, winter, and early spring. the heaters are nice and toasty? lol</p>

<p>Sons room as a freshman on OC would definitely NOT be able to handle any type of a/c in it's windows, they turn out and oddly shaped. Try putting a/c's in these types of windows:</p>

<p>Best thing is to buy a fan or two, or one of those Swamp Coolers. </p>

<p>My S loves going to NYC or Boston when he has some free time.</p>

<p>Buy/bring a fan.</p>

<p>If you're into current music, Toad's Place (all genres represented) is a very short walk from Old Campus. <a href="http://www.toadsplace.com/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.toadsplace.com/&lt;/a> has a calendar of bands/artists that will be playing there.</p>

<p>There's a Starbucks right next to Old Campus which will be helpful after late nights/early mornings.</p>

<p>Don't venture too far away from campus.</p>

<p>A simple transcript probably won't help with admissions. If the class has a profound impact and you write about it in an essay, it could help.</p>
