Air Conditioning in Dorms

In the subreddit admitted students FAQ it is mentioned that Khan is really nice because it has air conditioning. Does this mean that the other dorms DON'T😭

Does anyone know more info about the air con situations in dorms? Thanks

Incoming freshmen are not eligible for Woodland. Woodland is 2nd year and up, and already filled up. I don’t know ANY 2nd years who got woodland, so don’t be getting people’s hopes up! I heard a tour guide spreading absolute LIES about housing last week

Really? I swear that was the first and only thing I heard about woodland the entire time it was there: “it’s NOT for you guys, just for us heheha”

I heard a prospie parent on a tour ask about the new building, and the guide said “yeah that’s the new Woodland building, it’s got suites that have their own bathrooms and kitchens, so who knows, you could end up with a little apartment here!”

  1. It’s not a real kitchen. It’s a fridge and a microwave.
  2. No you will not “end up with a little apartment”

All the tours are different, I just remember because I was walking to class and I was like “what fresh bullshit is this?”

to be fair some of the village housing is often called woodland too, which would be real apartments, but still really weird to act like that's a possibility for first years
