Those kids should be receiving a housing credit. 🤬

[@TomM-z5n]

Wait, you're telling us you just switched over to heat? I work HVAC and heat has been on for almost 2 months for a lot of homes and buildings. Also maybe you should get a HVAC professional to do this work and not your maintenance techs. Also goes to show the electrical grid can't handle the demand. Electricity is not the answer for anything. Way to Go UofM! So glad I went to trade school.

Fkn what! That's not how hearing works!

[@NathanielRayDavis]

Wait a Minute. These Students Parents, Property Taxes Are Being increased, and The Light Rail is dangerous. And you’re telling me that…Run Frey and Carter out of Town.

[@AAA-nq6bo]

Bet there are a lot of coffee breaks and cribbage games in between facilities personnel getting to each room.

[@treyrinn6233]

it's suck's that space heaters trip the power

[@alexbinman8361]

Unwanted air got into the system? lol is that even possible if your heater is pumping heat through the vents? What a crackpot explanation 😂

[@CBroPhotography]

I'm guessing this is not a forced air system. I think radiators can have that issue.

[@bornforburning777]

@@CBroPhotography Yes, I haven't been inside Comstock for awhile but considering it was built in the 40s they are probably heating the building with cast-iron steam / hot-water radiators. I live inside a similarly old building and we have to regularly flush our system of air bubbles.

Not a shock

[@DavidN-x6o]

Ah yes, LIVESTOCK Hall...some interesting times in that dorm, back in the day. If only the walls could talk, the stories they would tell.

[@MNP208]

😂

[@RURAL_MN_UP_NORTH]

Bailey Hall was rocking every night in 1997 😂. And we were somewhat secluded on St Paul campus, so nobody gave a darn what was going on 😂

[@JamesBrown-db9pk]

good thing u pay thousads of buck for that crap

[@dougsmith2661]

booo hoooo call mommy!!!

[@reagananderson2400]

Your in Minnesota get used to the cold lol

[@bornforburning777]

16 degrees is fairly unlivable for a college student. Like yes, you can sleep pretty easily assuming you have decent bedding, but typing on a computer or writing freehand is going to be difficult.
