Studies done *on college students* show that sleeping in temperatures that are too warm cause lower math scores on tests. Authors compared math scores from students in dorms with A/C and dorms without.

So this is academically important. A/C is not a frivolous demand these days.

mmmkay. Amazing then how many of us survived no AC in a southern school in the 90s and still aced math and math-based engineering courses, and for some reason the northern-most ivies still have no AC in some dorms and yet their students are some of the highest performers on tests.

If AC really mattered to you, you should have investigated. There also is something called AC for an individual room: better than a fan, not central air but decent.

I remember putting in my ac unit and just asking my RA what day in the semester will she check my dorm, so I didn’t get written up. It was pretty common, not sure what the fussing is about. You’re getting an elite education and complaining about a problem that a fan can solve. [/quote]
