I have always disliked window units for a very basic reason. They keep you from opening the window. Therefore, you have to rely on electricity for your room temperature instead of a nice fall breeze.

The link above talks about portable air conditioning units, a much more environmentally friendly option that does allow you to open your window. Read through it, you may find yourself agreeing with my opinion that UNCGÂ shouldn’t have window units.

I also live in Ragsdale and I agree that we are always relying on electricity to cool our rooms. My room is always so stuffy! My roommate and I are always talking about how we wish we could open the window. Having a portable air conditioner is such a smart idea! I wish UNCG would start using them.
