[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it true UVA dorms don't have air conditioning?  DS refuses to apply or even visit if this is true.  Is is also true that they don't have enough dorms, so it is a scramble to get off campus housing?[/quote]

UVA is replacing its old 60s-era first year dorms with new ones - so far, I think four dorms have opened and three more will welcome first year students this fall, with a couple more to be built in the next two years. They are all air conditioned. There will still be some non-A/C dorms, and of course rooms on the Lawn have no A/C. All the students say that it's really only uncomfortable the first two weeks of school. Lack of A/C seems pretty bearable compared to some New England schools with 6-month winters...but maybe that's just me.[/quote]

Wow - which schools have 6-month winters!?[/quote]

any ONE of the NESAC schools....e.g., Williams; Middlebury (very bad from what we've heard); the Maine schools (e.g., Colby); Dartmouth...all very cold.  [/quote]

My kid loves Maine winters. Not everyone loves the Mid-Atlantic sauna. [/quote]
