Middlebury dorm that we saw on our tour had no a/c either.
Surely it's colder/higher altitude there though?
What? Neither location has much need for AC. These are both schools for students that are fine with plenty of cold and snow.

Middlebury has a new freshman dorm under construction. The upcoming class is getting a brand new space.

How do gender neutral bathrooms work?
I’m pretty sure that they work the same as the gender neutral bathrooms in your home.
Not even remotely close to the same thing. Imagine having a big, explosive diarrhea bubbling up from a bad dining hall meal, making into the "gender neutral" community bathroom seconds before your sphincter bursts, and seeing your massive crush from down the hall brushing her teeth at the sink. She shoots you a big smile, clearly oblivious to what's brewing in your colon. You now have two options: 1) scurry into a stall, close the door, sit on the pot and proceed to blow your crush right out of the bathroom with an 8.9 on the Rectum Scale, or 2) turn around and sprint toward the bathroom at the other end of the hall, knowing your efforts are futile, as you can already feel the first few yellowish-brown liquid droplets seeping out. You end up diarrhea'ing your pants right in front of a mixed-group of hallmates who are getting off the elevator. They smell it first, then see it running down your leg. There's no denying what just happened. By dinner, it'll be all over the dorm.
All of this as a college freshman still adjusting to your new life away from home and trying to establish your position in a new social pecking order. And all of it could have been avoided if the bathrooms were simply single-gender and you didn't have to make a split-second decision about blowing a diarrhea in front of an attractive member of the opposite sex.
Sounds like a pertinent lesson for later in life.
If the gay kids can deal with sharing bathrooms with their massive crushes, the straights can too.

The conversation was about AC and Allergies yet someone had to drag it into gender studies because the press release mentioned all gender bathrooms.

My DC graduated from Hamilton and is in IB in NYC. DC found that a number of banks have a very strong Hamilton alumni network where the alums really advocate for Ham grads and some have spots allocated for Ham students in their internship programs.

Hamiliton freshman dorm has no AC. Child with bad allergies went elsewhere. Recruited swimmer.
Maybe because a/c wouldn’t be needed there for more than 5-10 days a semester? Brown doesn’t have a/c in dorms either. Neither does Yale. Or Harvard. Would your kids turn those down too?

The same way a normal dorm bathroom does. Honestly, where is the confusion?

I’m. It sure how gender neutral bathrooms play here. When I was in college finding somewhere to have sex wasn’t that difficult and I can confidently say that same sex bathrooms and showers were options.

Fwiw I am in my mid-50s and had gender neutral bathrooms as a freshman at Penn a hundred years ago. (Of course we didn't call it gender neutral back then.) Somehow we all managed to survive the many indignities that transpire in shared living situations without long-term physical or psychological damage. My oldest kid is at another New England SLAC and has lived in several smaller dorms (more like houses) with shared bathrooms and he too does not appear to have suffered as a result. I'm sure the kids at Middlebury will navigate this treacherous situation successfully. Go troll somewhere else.

Didn't say Midd is bad, but you can't say Hamilton isn't well represented when their alumni include the CEO of damn Goldman Sachs.
That doesn’t mean they’re exemplary at Wall Street representation. That means they graduated 1 successful alum.
