There are exactly two months until Christmas and I'm still wearing shorts and a tshirt while inside even though its 50 degrees outside. I continue to sleep with the fan on all the way and both of my windows open and still I wake up sweating. Why is this happening? For some reason Rutgers decided that it was time to turn the heat on. As my roommate said when complaining to our RA how hot it is, "It hasn't even snowed yet?" I thought we were supposed to be going green and conserving energy. There is no need to have the heat on until at least Thanksgiving. It is still cool enough outside that we don't have to wear our snow boots and parkas so why is the heat on inside? And it's not only in the residence halls. The auditorium in Beck Hall on Livingston is a sauna. The other day it was so bad during class that I actually had to get up to leave because I started to get dizzy and thought I was going to pass out from the heat. So really Rutgers why is it so necessary to turn the heat on the second the temperature drops below 60 degrees? Some of us actually like the cold.
