No lights + no heat = no friggin way.
In my chapter, the members were displeased if they got assigned to one of the two triples in the house, because there were too many people in the room... and those rooms were like 15' by 20'.
Everyone fought for the one tiny single... maybe we New Englanders are just more private people?

Still making me smile . . . in Indiana, our "cold dorms" definitely have heat - at least they did by the time I was in school in the eighties. It was radiator heat though, hard to control from room to room. So, we chose our bunks based on what temperature we prefered. The warm dorm was just plain hot and I figured cultivated germs like crazy, then there was an in-between temperature dorm, and the cold dorm usually had the windows open to offset the hot radiator heat! And of course we all slept in those hot Lanz flannel nightgowns! I'm sure the house corp loved our approach. :-)
