New England is fuggin hotter than Socal in August.

What an outlandish claim. SoCal outside of the coast is piping hot!

I don’t think OP ever confirmed which SoCal school the child is attending.

How many have a lot of money and don’t charge differently for them dorms?
That knocks out UCLA and USC. Could be Oxy or Pomona.

The humidity on the east coast makes a hige difference. SoCal heat is a dry heat. huge difference

It doesn’t make that much of a difference. Hot in SoCal feels plenty hot, especially when the sun is out.

I agree with the prior PP - having spent a lot of time in both DMV and SoCal in summers. The humidity makes a huge difference, very hot days in SoCal cool off at night (and it feels even cooler without humidity) and is a lot easier to cool down a room (especially one in basement - where sun hasn't warmed up roof/walls) that would be the case during a heat wave on the east coast.

I lived there for three years, so don’t need your lecture on what the heat feels like. It does cool down some at night, but buildings often hold heat and it is very hot during the day, particularly sunny days. It’s not a sticky hit but still feels plenty hot.

Can this thread be over? Just a paranoid parent.

Better be able to open an window, otherwise that is a huge fire hazard and illegal.

I would argue with the school that you are worried for your daughter's safety. Basement means a drunken, would be rapist can break in. Hell no. Put it in writing. The risk manager for the school should insist on moving your daughter.

Why at all would a basement mean this, it's just the ground floor of the building?
What in the world does being on the first floor change about the theoretical rapists ability to get in the building versus being in the basement? You do know Basement doesn't mean like a home basement but has to have windows legally right?
Also OP has a son.

Seriously? What an ahole question. Yeah, everyone is combing over every housing possibility when they are applying to colleges. You are being absurd, PP.

DP, but if it's a considerable thing OP's kids wanted, they should've done the research. Same with kids who want a guaranteed single or off campus housing or really any other college priority you have

That is not true. 90+ with and without humidity are very different.

They may feel different but they both feel uncomfortably hot. And yes, I’ve lived in SoCal.

Apparently everyone on DCUM has lived in SoCal, at some point, we're just gonna have to sniff you out for lying. DP.
