"this dorm was designed after the '60s to make it harder for students to occupy/protest."
This is said of UC Santa Cruz, which definitely doesn't have much in the way of common space like Berkeley's Sproul Plaza.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I just purchased some birthday gifts for my nephew. A onesie with the galaxy on it and the caption: Center of the Universe.
Also, a space shuttle tub toy with two astronauts.
CUTE.
Auntie buy toys.

How 'bout the, "this dorm was designed by a guy who used to design prisons" and "this dorm was designed after the '60s to make it harder for students to occupy/protest."
The most convincing variation of this that I've heard is that one of the dorms at Trent University was designed without bathrooms. And seriously, to walk down a corridor from one end of the building to another, you went through three bathrooms, because they were in the corridor with swinging doors on each end.

Yep. I made untold Auntie Buys there, but finally had to give up - too many nieces and nephews.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The status is NOT quo.
From Snopes:
The Homer Babbidge Library at the University of Connecticut at Storrs has been plagued with problems since its erection in 1978, suffering from a bulging brick facade and concrete floors sagging under their own weight. Five different contractors worked on those walls, and a common suspicion was that the concrete used in the floor pour had been watered. Engineers and architects blamed the problems on design flaws, substandard materials, and shoddy workmanship; meanwhile, the edifice underwent an $18 million repair project in 1995 to correct its problems.
DX:
However, the library at UConn apparently did have a problem with bricks falling out of it's facade, but that was just bad workmanship.
I was at UConn from 93-96, and the library was the biggest campus joke around. It was under constant construction and covered in scaffolding the entire time I was there.
We believed both the "too heavy with books" theory and the "shitty contractor workmanship" theory.
