A lot of people would be surprised that a lot of colleges try to save money or don’t have enough money in their budget to expense certain things.
One of those things I realized when I was doing tours of colleges that I was interested in was a lot of them do not have air conditioning systems in the dorms.
I even saw that some of the classrooms didn’t have any air ducts or air vents that would allow air conditioning system to go through. I was really shocked by this because when the weather is warm how can students be productive? I know that there were at least two classrooms in my high school that didn’t have any form of air conditioning except for portable floor air conditioning systems. And those classrooms that had a lack in commercial air conditioning, made it really hard to focus and be productive in those classes. That is why I am being very picky with the college that I choose because I want to go to a school where I’m going to get good grades because i’m focused and productive in class. Getting good grades doesn’t stem from just studying but it also comes from feeling comfortable because the temperature is set to a certain degree through a thermostat whether the thermostat is set to a furnace or an air conditioning system. I know that my specific requirements are going to be hard to find but even if I can find an hvac system in my dorm I’ll be happy because I don’t want to have to go to a class that doesn’t have an hvac system and then also go back to a dorm that doesn’t have an hvac system either. Here’s to finding a college!
