Any tips for cooling down this room? Whenever I walk into it I feel like I'm being punched in the face by heat. And I could barely sleep last night necUse it was so hot. Any help is appreciated

Old Re: Cooling down a hot dorm room?
Can you use fans? If so, buy a big one and place it in the center of the room.

Buy curtains that shade the room from sunlight...also helps cool down rooms.

Open your door sometimes to let fresh air circulate.

open windows at night too.


Hope these help

You should do a search because I think that someone asked this earlier this week. Anyways everyone suggested the fans that you put in your window like this.

All an air conditioner is a fan that pulls out the hot hair and a dehumidifier. Buy both. Get a small dehumidifier and a powerful fan. It would be best if you can have a ceiling fan. If you cannot, get a vorando that turns and a dehumidifier. That will keep the humidity out of the room and the room really cool.

I'd get slick on them and get a big ole stand up fan and point it upward with the humidifier. Leave the door closed...aint nothing like NYC summer heat so trust I know.

Old Re: Cooling down a hot dorm room?
Awww...Put a fan in the window backwards to suck out the hot air...then put the tower fan in the middle of the room...as others said....

IDK...but do you technically have to put a small window AC unit..in a window, couldn't you put it on a desk?

Old Re: Cooling down a hot dorm room?
I survived my first 2 years of college with no AC. We would stick one fan in the window (always) and then have another fan or two in the room. Should start cooling off towards end of this month.
