I have never been so excited to move out of my parents home and return to university. At first it was because I hated having to be stuck in a home where I couldn’t do what I wanted and had to get use to having a curfew again. After a week into summer time though I realized that my university had actually kept their Heating & A/C system at a much lower level than my mother which meant that I had to readjust to a hotter weather conditions even while being indoors. Now it isn’t like my mother kept the home at a high temperature, despite the fact that she refused to have the system go any lower because she said it made the electric go up a hefty sum in our monthly payments. My university system kept the dorm rooms and the classrooms at about 77 degrees. This was partially because many of the university buildings were historic and close to 100 years older. With such old buildings the A/C units and ducts were possibly so old that they tended to have holes and broke down easily. To make sure none of the students were overheated or overheated they made sure to keep the buildings as chilly as possible and even put window units in each classroom so that if the system as a whole broke down the classes could still be comfortable. Some of the students began to assume that a great portion of our tuition fees went to paying for the A/C while the other students swore it had to go to the water bills because our sprinklers were constantly on and watering some part of the grounds throughout the day periodically even twice a day.
