Talk:Housing

So what's the deal with getting out of your Spring contract? Saying "You can't, unless you pay a fine" doesn't make sense. That should just read "You have to pay a fine" if that's the case. BigPeteB (talk) 10:05, 27 June 2012 (EDT)


 * To me it seems like an entirely unnecessary section, but I didn't feel like deleting it. --Ahallacy3 (talk) 12:36, 27 June 2012 (EDT)


 * I overheard that question from freshmen every year for 10 years. (I was in choir, so I came to know a lot of freshmen.) It's asked commonly enough that I think it belongs here. There was even a reddit thread asking about getting out of housing contracts. --BigPeteB (talk) 08:59, 28 June 2012 (EDT)

Heating and A/C
The page says, "East campus dorms have tile floors and central air (meaing the temperature of the air in the HVAC unit is determined by housing)."

I don't know what that means. My East campus dorm in 2001-2003 had an in-room unit with temperature knob, so it could cycle on and off as we desired. Granted, the whole building is on either heat or A/C, but it's not like you can't control the temperature of your room.

Have I misunderstood what was meant by this? I think it needs to be rephrased or corrected, as appropriate. --BigPeteB (talk) 20:30, 5 July 2012 (EDT)


 * "The whole building is on heat or a/c is what I meant by that. West campus dorms have individual HVAC units that can output hot or cold air 24/7/365
