Shortly after we took her son to college plus got him settled in the dorms we got a cellphone call from him complaining about his accommodations.
My buddy and I did warn him ahead of time that the dorms were not the most comfortable venue to live but it was the most practical considering that he was two states away.
It was his freshman year so he was required to stay in the dorms plus was not allowed to have a car on campus so he genuinely didn’t have any other choice. When we learned the reason for his complaint we had to kind of laugh because when we decided to go to college there was no such thing as air conditioning in our rooms. Apparently each student at the University was allowed to bring in their own personal Heating and Air Conditioning unit so that they could be comfortable during the warmer times of year. My buddy and I were unaware of this when we first planned for his time in the dorm so we had never even thought to purchase one, unluckyly he would have to wait until the next cut during years for us to be able to meet up with him plus purchase one. This didn’t make him glad at all however he was able to at least get a large box fan from the campus store! Before the cut we were able to contact our local Heating and Air Conditioning contractor plus find out which unit was the easiest to install in our son’s dorm room. The windows were a little bit small so they proposed one of stand-alone units that had a small bar with the ventilation hose instead of one that sat in the window itself. Our son was really glad when we arrived with his new Heating and Air Conditioning unit plus of course a bunch of pretzels.
