When I was in school, I was lucky enough to get accepted into a luxury dormitory, then i was 1 of several roommates, but all of us each got our own living room plus there was a official living room, home office, plus bathroom, then most of our friends who attended the same university were stuck in a traditional dorm that was the size of our personal living room… They also had to share a bathroom with an entire floor of people.
There were a lot of benefits to staying in that luxury dormitory, but the 1 downside was that everyone in the room had to share the thermostat settings.
There was 1 thermostat that controlled the entire dorm plus each of us had a unusual temperature preference. I liked to sleep in a cooler environment, but 1 of the other men liked to sleep with the heat on. The third roommate liked to sleep in a lukewarm temperature, so he didn’t like either of our temperature settings, and during the day, I thought it made sense to keep the thermostat set to 74 degrees, because there was no sense in cooling a dorm that nobody was in. The two of us were all away at class anyway, then each of us would alter the temperature settings whenever the other several roommates weren’t around. The gas furnace plus cooling system were constantly being turned on plus off plus nobody was ever absolutely comfortable while they slept. I’m thankful I didn’t have to spend money for that utility bill, because I’m sure it was outrageous.
