[quote=Anonymous]Not OP. But my DC is at Pomona, which may be the school at issue (?).

Anyhow, I spoke to my DC yesterday, and the heat doesn't seem to be a problem or DC so far. My DC is in a double without AC. It's spacious, well-appointed, and looks on a nice courtyard. I'd say it's nicer than most dorms we previously saw, but not as nice as, say, Bowdoin's dorms. Like other rooms in this dormitory, it has a ceiling fan and, while I don't think they've used it yet, DC's roommate bought a cheap swamp cooler at the campus flea market sale on move-in day.

We had some concerns about AC and heat, but the students and alumni we spoke with said it wasn't a big deal. It might lead to a handful of uncomfortable nights freshman year, but the lack of AC in most freshman dorms was hardly a defining issue for them.

Anyhow, assuming we're talking about Pomona, OP's DC shouldn't have any problem getting moved into a new room and/or double soon. During family orientation a couple weeks ago, the school indicated that students so inclined could request new roommates after first 2 or 3 weeks. The temporary moratorium made sense to me. It forces teenagers without much experience to at least try to make the most of their dorm/roommate situation before actually changing it. I can't imagine OP's DC couldn't get a double if he or she pressed the issue.[/quote]
