Now I am worried because we didn't get to tour a dorm room this summer.  [/quote]

But most of the actual dorms are fine--and some are really lovely.   Unlike nearly every college who show off their best or at least the most typical, they show the worst possible room that you might get freshman year --just so you're not disappointed with what you get. (W&M parent).[/quote]

well that is in an actual dorm, not a fake room... W&M is quite famous for their lack of A/C in freshman dorms and they claim to bond over "suffering" through it.  
To the poster who didn't get to tour it, it is a dark, dank corner room with no A/C. And before you all complain that it's only hot for a few weeks a year, we visited in November. It smelled musty and just no way could be dressed up to feel happy and bright. I'm not even sure windows were able to be opened.

It's ok she's at UVA and is in a huge double room that should be a triple and very happy with the light and the vibe.[/quote]

My freshman at W&M has a great, large room with AC and big windows. She’s in one of the smaller dorms and it’s really lovely. It’s a crap-shoot, but you could get lucky. About 50% of freshman dorms have AC.[/quote]
