What a bunch of pansies. I don’t know anyone who went to a college with air conditioned dorms.
I graduated from Arizona State University in 1969. Even back then, every single building on campus, including the dorms, had refrigeration or evaporative coolers.
But my VW bug didn't have A/C. It had what we called Mexican air conditioning. Drive around with the windows rolled up until you were soaking wet from sweating. Then roll the windows down to get some air to cool off with.
The temperature in the summer could soar to 115-120 degrees in the summer.
But the humidity was low and that makes the hot temperatures easier to tolerate.
