And somebody actually considers this NEWS??
Here's a News Flash for Yinz. I grew up in a house without air conditioning, and believe it or not, it got up over 90 there many, many times over the course of umpteen Summers.
And yet somehow I survived.
And anyhow, I thought that the carbon footprint left by air conditioning was destroying the planet n'at.
Snowflakes on a 90 degree day.
Grew up in a farmhouse in Iowa surrounded by cornfields. Can’t tell you the number of July/August nights spent feeling the beads of sweat tracing a line down my chest.
Kids, be grateful that you are being given a chance to lower your carbon footprint.
To be fair, none of Greensburg has AC. Or plumbing. Or electricity. At least judging from the exteriors of houses.
Good heavens!
We didn’t even have AC when I was a kid!
We barely had electricity!..................
I was in a college dorm during summer school, with no air conditioning.
I lived in an old apartment building in Chicago for a number of years, a building without air conditioning.
Air conditioning is very nice but there was a time when people didn’t have air conditioning, and they somehow survived summer.
I remember the WWII barracks I lived in at NAS Millington, Tennessee in August. Those kids would die.
“Students are not permitted to use window AC units,“
So buy one of these:
We have one. Works great.

Ya, nobody worked or went to school in the heat before 100 years ago.....
Pansies.
I lived w/o air conditioning (both my apartment AND my car) in the deep south for 3 years when I was in college. Couldn’t afford it.
Went to college where the old dorms had no a/c. Yeah it sucked on the few 100 degree days, but what a story to tell: we went into the shower buck naked, went into the bed completely wet, and if you fell asleep in 5 minutes you were good for a few hours. If not, by 10 minutes your hair, sheets, and body were bone dry and you had to get up and do it again.
It was hot, particularly for these yankees who rarely feel real heat... but it wasn’t life threatening as long as you stayed hydrated and had ventilation.
I do not know, if the Pitt Greensburg campus dorms have windows that open... Many newer buildings do not have windows that open, for energy efficiency. And if you have ever been in a room with no windows lack of AC can indeed turn that into a serious situation as the building and rooms will get much hotter than the outside air.
If their windows don’t open, that stops ventilation and can be a problem. If you live in a city, look at the buildings built before AC and those After... those built after, you do not want to be stuck in if the HVAC system stops working for an extended period of time in a heat wave.
90 degrees. Lol. Poosies.
What a bunch of pansies. I don’t know anyone who went to a college with air conditioned dorms.
Yep. I’m only in my late-40s, but I grew up in an old brick house with no air conditioning until I was 16 years old. And I attended an old three-story high school (in the late-1980s) that had no air conditioning, except for the cafeteria and library. And I somehow survived!
The New York Times insists that the population must give up air conditioning.
Suck it up, buttercups.
Air conditioning is (evidently) white nationalism.
But wait....doesn’t the green socialst deal BAN air conditioning for everyone except the elites?
None of my dorms had AC, in college, or the military...
They’ll survive.
Being a hardy survivor is great and all, but the article doesn’t say why they don’t have air conditioning?
Nor does it say the students knew to expect these conditions before they enrolled at that college.
So, my 8 story dorm had no AC.... UGA, Creswell Hall.
Somehow we survived.
LOL...no school I ever went to had AC. Suck it up buttercups.
