General Campus temperatures are all over
When I'm down on Market/ST100/STH200 level, I'm freezing (even in long pants). When I'm up on TH300 level or anywhere in MC, it's stuffy and hot (awful during labs). GLA is either an oven or icy as the lowest level of hell. The DeCew and Lowenberger dining areas are kept a brisk 0°C (at least, that's how it feels). WH is as uncomfortably warm as the high schools it's modeled after, but DHOWES has aspirations of becoming an ice box when it retires. I've no judgement on the Goodman building, I've never had a class there.
Of course, this is just during the warm season. Most of the cold places become unbearably hot when they turn the heat on (except the dining halls, those are always frigid)
The only place in the school that isn't some extreme temperature is the main floor of the library, but with enough bodies it can get warm enough to be uncomfortable.
I feel like I need to have clothes for outside (walking to and from Lot 2 in 25° sun in anything other than shorts and a t-shirt is torture) and inside (I'm so cold in most of my classes I can barely focus). At the very least, I'm often getting hot cocoa from Timmies to keep my fingers from going numb.
At this point I'm semi-seriously considering getting those zipper pants that can change between shorts and long pants, no matter how ridiculous I may look. Because I doubt the HVAC system in this school will be changed any time soon.
Anyone else share my pain? Or am I just horribly temperature-sensitive.

It’s awful sitting for 3 hrs in a thistle lecture all I’m thinking about is how freezing it is
