I went to school at Univ of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. aka hell on earth in the summer one of the hottest places in the southeast. my first apartment/duplex out of the dorms my Junior year did not have AC (well it did, a small window unit that broke in April) the absentee landlord, who lived out of the country didn't replace it until we finally called the the city to report unsafe living conditions. I was on the second floor of a house built in the late 1800s post civil war during reconstruction. we went a whole summer without AC. I eventually got somewhat use to the heat, but often would stay at my girlfriends place. My roommate was there all the time though, not sure how he survived. I was like dude, go to bars and hook up and go sleep at HER place if you do. lol he never did as far as I know. I moved out after that fall semester and my GF and I got a place my senior year
