That would be a negative for me.

New poster here. Why the rolling eyes? Smith has never made a "most expensive colleges" list. I can testify from experiences that the houses, which lodge maybe 30 to maybe 100, are very nice. Some houses don't have their own kitchens and have to go to other houses for meals.

The food at UCLA is fantastic for dining hall fare.

There are definitely UVA dorms w/o AC. Touring with my high schoolers I was surprised to see so many (freshman) dorms were the exact same as when DH and I were in college. I just assumed dorms had been upgraded in 30 years. Regarding AC, the kids survive without it and I wouldn't put it on a list as a "mst have."

The upscale dorm & fine collegiate dining? Fucking ridiculous.

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?

UVA's new dorms are really nice. The food, however, is famously terrible.
