My apartment unfortunately doesn't have central air. Instead I have two window mounted a/c's at the "front". The bedroom leads off of this main room through a doorway, but this bedroom has no other means of getting air. It has no windows and leads to a bathroom, also with no windows. THis isnt the best for air circulation so I frequently keep a large box fan in the main room (the room with the a/c) and blow cool air into the bedroom. However, some have suggested I set up the box fan inside the room and blow the warm air out. Any recommendations?

I would probably use two fans. One to blow from living room into hallway and second from hallway into bedroom.

I'm curious, what was the reasoning behind blowing the hot air towards the living room instead of cold air towards the bedroom?

There is only one doorway, it would be impossible to use two fans, because they would simply blow right at one another. THe only entrance to the "hot" room is the doorway. There are no windows or additional doors leading to it. Air can either be blown in or blown out, but not both.

Also, the reasoning was to suck hot air out of the room, have it be cooled by the a/c, and then let it flow back in naturally.

The air at floor level should be cooler then the air near the ceiling so blowing the lower air in might cause the forced outflow to be the higher, warmer air.
