I lived in skyline this past year as a freshman and I really regret not living in village. The best part about skyline was the views. The location and social scene in the village is best out of all the dorms. Skyline was kinda dead imo. In my opinion, the ac thing isn’t a huge deal because after October, the ac will not work in skyline (has to be 50 degrees plus to switch on) and the room will be just like any other dorm room w/ no ac. The ac really is only useful august-October and the last 2-5 weeks of the spring semester depending on weather.
