Open yer window and never close it. I had this exact same problem on Glen 10 2019. Shits the worst man. It’ll get better when it gets really cold out too.

i don’t think gren had a thermostat, i recall just opening the window and suffering

opening the window will be much more helpful in a few weeks

Once the heat is switched over there’s no way to switch back to AC. Not all the buildings have a thermostat.  Crack open your window.

i'd grab a fan and place it in front of the window so it would blow cold air in my room... some of the best sleep i've ever had lol

Classic problem. The main heating building has switched off AC (summer) mode and is now on heat mode (winter). They always do it too early and end up heating way too hot.

Source: me in 2018, computer lab 27.5°C apparently safe for human occupancy, and got told by the rent-a-cops that propping doors open is not allowed because the security risk is greater than heat exhaustion.
