    One of my friend had bought portable AC, but, again, if you live in an apartment, not sure about the installation problems. Window AC is also available and have seen many of my friends were using to get better air and to save energy.

    You can buy small window air conditioning units in lots of stores right now for $80-100. These are easy to install and you just plug them in. Be sure to measure the window opening and compare to the dimensions listed on the box.

    One thing...since you are in Indy, you will have a terrible humidity problem. The air conditioner will do some on that but those portable are often a/c and humidifier combo (although I don't know if they do one of the other and not both or do both at same time) and that might be better solution although more expensive. If you get a dehumidifier and a window unit, you might as well get the portable.
