The warm weather will soon be a thing of the past! In a few weeks, we’ll be well on our way to enjoying crisp fall air.
Looking for ways to stay cool in your hall until then? Here are a few suggestions you may try to get some relief!
 |
Fans, fans, FANS! To maximize air flow in your room, make sure both you and your roommate have a fan. Placing a box fan in your window with the blades facing out can pull the warm air out of the room! |
 |
Hang out in your hall’s TV Lounge! You can indulge in the air conditioning while hanging out and making new friends! |
 |
Drink lots of cold water! Place a few bottles in the freezer and sip away! |
 |
Have a popsicle party! Chill out with your roomies and hall friends while enjoying a sweet treat! |
 |
Cool it down! Use a cold, damp washcloth on your forehead or neck! It’s a quick trick that can cool you down in a snap! |
 |
Need a bit of a break? You can always visit other places on campus! The Student Success Center, Madison Union, Festival and UREC all have air conditioning! |
