It was a struggle when I first joined university, but dealing with homesickness was not the only issue considering temperature change.
- I felt uncomfortable most of the time, especially when I was outdoors.
I came from an part where the weather was cold, as well as my dream university was hot. This hasty difference meant that I needed to adjust hastily. After settling in, the first thing I did was shop for appropriate clothing because most of my previous ones were meant for the cold weather; Once I could fit in without looking like a clown, I decided that the next big move would be to get an A/C since the one in the hostels seemed to never work. The school website claimed that it was a modern one, yet its functioning did not reflect this. No amount of decreasing the control device setting in my room made it comfortable for me. It seems my roommates also struggled with this as she regularly kept her side of the window open while in the afternoon as well as sometimes at night. I commanded that my friend and I get a portable window AC if she was willing to split the costs, which she did. One month down the line, the school management hired a professional Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C supplier to check the A/C device since the complaints on the student portal had become too many. It turns out that the original supplier that had installed the device had done some shoddy job as well as failed to install the mini-split ACs correctly. The modern team took a few days, as well as everything was restored to what it should have been. My roommate as well as I decided to keep the window AC just in case the problem recurred.
