Went to school at ASU, lived in Manzanita dorm. Can confirm, we had foil on our windows, too… but as much because the old building had weak air conditioning, though the sun could be brutal. More recent buildings at ASU have window treatments for variable sun conditions.

Manzanita and Barrett. The latter, new. (And everyone had hacked the air conditioner controls to override the limiter on week one.) Still had foil. It’s hot and bright and even with dark skin I was frequently sunburned.

Seems like if the school put exterior shades over the windows they could save on cooling.
