[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at LAC in roughly the top 50...which ones have bad dorms? Kid has asthma and some other health issues, so especially looking to avoid dorms with mold, no AC, or any other unhealthy problems! [/quote]

I think you're going about this in the wrong way. Find schools you child likes. Inquire about dorms in those places. [/quote]

And also inquire about health-related accommodations. My kid goes to Wesleyan and has had good experiences with the accommodation process through Accessibility Services. Assuming your kid has a diagnosis, they should be able to get into a dorm that meets their needs.[/quote]

Great point, but how do you recommend getting accurate information about good experiences with accommodations? [/quote]

Once your kid has acceptances in hand, they should reach out to the accessibility offices with questions. Ask questions at admitted students’ days, as well. Admissions offices often have students who serve as ambassadors; ask them about experiences getting housing accommodations. Etc.[/quote]

Looking to ED so this won't work. [/quote]

Then you need to call and ask since you already know where you’re kid is going to apply. Either list the school here or just call. 99% of the information you’ll get here will be useless.

I don't know how to explain this more clearly. I don't know where my kid is going to apply. He's a jr so we're putting the list together right now. We went to avoid schools with unhealthy dorms,  unresponsive facilities depts, and uncooperative disabilities offices. They won't even make the list. [/quote]
Very reasonable, OP! Let us know where DC ends up![/quote]
