I spent my sophomore year living on the 22nd floor of a university building in Philadelphia. The air conditioning for the entire buildingf was non-functional from the time I moved in during August and still wasn't fixed until I moved out the following May. That would never fly these days.
Maybe not. But we never had any a/c in our dorms. But then we didn't start till the end of September, and classes ended the third week of May, I think. So it never became unbearably hot. I very much doubt today's students have their own bathrooms, either.
Getting a good education requires strength of character.
