IF you're moving into a college dorm with no air conditioning, there are some easy tricks to surviving the end-of-summer heat.<\/p>\n
A former student revealed her tips for keeping cool in any accommodation.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
In her video, TikTok user Emma Austin (@heyemmakay_) explained that she lived without an AC during her freshman year of college.<\/p>\n
She told viewers: "I lived in Indiana, where in August it can be 90 degrees Fahrenheit one day or even hotter, and then it can go down and be snowing the next day."<\/p>\n
Emma decided to invest in a box fan to cool down her dorm room.<\/p>\n
"The reason you\u2019ll want a box fan specifically is it\u2019s going to take air from the outside and pull it in," the TikToker said.<\/p>\n
"It\u2019s going to help circulate your room air so much better," she told her followers.<\/p>\n
She also recommended adding "a personal fan on your desk."<\/p>\n
For her next tip, Emma shared an essential step to her fan set-up: regular dusting.<\/p>\n
"I know that sounds super simple but I\u2019m not joking I forgot to dust my fans and they\u2019re disgusting, it will make you much sicker if you don\u2019t dust your fan," she explained.<\/p>\n
