Answer 1

yeah window unit. they sell fairly cheap ones (air conditioners) at most stores

Answer 2

I assume you either have no air conditioning, or don't want to spend the money on one.

If you have windows on opposite sides of the room, get two box (window) fans. Place one in the south or west side window so that the fan is blowing into the room. Place the second in the north or east side window so that the fan is blowing air to the outside.

You will create a constant flow of air through your room, cooling it down to the temperature of the outside air. The placement of the fans allows them to work with the flow of the wind, not against it.

Answer 3

Get a good ceiling fan or a dehumidifier. But the this that will work the best would be a cheap portable air conditioner. They are awesome and it will keep your room as cool as you want it. You can always return it if you are not happy with it.
