Students returning to campus for the semester faced hot and humid weather. This heat is a yearly tradition for them. Most residence halls do not have air conditioning, except for students with a medical need.
Fans are recommended to help with circulation, with the suggestion of using one to blow air in and another to blow air out.
There are a few air-conditioned residence halls, with a total of three at the university. Further details on how students are coping with the heat are available.
