On Oct. 18, a freshman who would like to remain unnamed and her roommate began smelling smoke before they went to sleep in their Mahoney dorm room. The next morning, they woke up in a smoke-filled room.
The girls said that the smoke was pouring out of the HVAC system, the vents for the air conditioner.
“We thought [the HVAC] was going to fully catch our room on fire. So we freaked out, called maintenance, and then they weren’t answering,” she said.
