[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) Basements are cooler than the upper floors (heat rises), so your child is in the best position for a dorm without A/C.

2) California doesn't get that hot for very long as you enter into the school year -- especially at night (it will be cool).

3) There are thousands of schools that cost a lot of money that don't have A/C in their dorms -- your child will be fine.  It may even teach them how to be a little bit resilient. [/quote]

Inland CA definitely gets hotter and stays hotter longer than Coastal CA.  The 5Cs are inland.  However, it is still desert so cools down at night.[/quote]
Even if true, that first month of college is an exciting time, and you won't be spending much time in your dorm when you are just starting out hopefully. It's very abnormal in the Inland Empire for it to be greater than 75ish at night, even sometimes with 100+ degree days. This week there's a high of 95 and low of 71 in the area.[/quote]

This sounds like hell.  I’m going against the masses and I’d get my kid an Airbnb for a month to sleep.  He can hang out at the dorm during the day.  He lucked out with the single though.

My son is prioritizing looking for places with singles and AC is not negotiable.  We crossed off the list this month after visiting because of the dorms and the requirement to live in it freshman year.  [/quote]
An Airbnb is insane for cool nights. Were you not outside of your dorm during college?[/quote]
