Several residents of A.B. Barret Hall have experienced discomfort in their rooms due to inconsistencies with the temperature of the air conditioning.

Kealey Fabian, sophomore biochemistry major from San Antonio, has noticed many problems with the halls air conditioning system.

When its hot outside you walk into the dorm and have to put on a sweatshirt, Fabian said. And during the cold months you walk in and its like walking into Mordor and its really uncomfortable.

Fabian said this problem has been occurring all school year. However, she said not all days are unpleasant.

Sometimes its not running at all and well open our window, she said. Its glorious.

Fabian said she has sent several maintenance requests addressing the problem, even emailing as late as 2 a.m. after being woken up by extreme temperatures. She also said it seems to be a general consensus among the residents that the air conditioning system does not work well.

Caroline Gafford, sophomore biochemistry major from Dallas, has noticed other problems with the system.

This past week it was cold outside in the morning and at night, but in the afternoon it was super hot, Gafford said. Wed walk into our room at night but the air would still be cold even though it was 30 degrees outside and then wed have no way to heat our room.

Its really been kind of frustrating trying to sleep at night because Im either freezing in the morning or burning up in my covers at night, said Aaron Vaught, sophomore vocal music education major from Fort Worth.Its not a very good situation.
