OP here - true. I should have said need AC in warmer climes like VA or south. I think my kid would be ok without AC in colder parts of the country.
Washington & Lee doesn't have AC? Can't imagine all those 1%s would tolerate their kids roughing VA summers.
W&L has renovated its dorms and upper year housing. Central air in most. The theme houses have window units as well. Some of the frat houses may not have AC.

No schools have dorms with ongoing gas leaks.

Why has there been an explosion of LAC posts? The top 5 posts are all on the same topic and moms crapping on every single one...for fun?

I think you're going about this in the wrong way. Find schools you child likes. Inquire about dorms in those places.
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.
Great point, but how do you recommend getting accurate information about good experiences with accommodations?

inquire about dorms how? it's not like tour guides are going to admit to problems in dorms.

I know of some that have guaranteed AC for upperclassmen.
Can you name them? My current senior would be very grateful!
