I would live in a dorm now if they'd let me bring my dog.

During my lat year at the first college I went to (for graphic arts and electronics...) I was in a four-man corner room. as what happens, one moved off campus and the other two eventually made requests to move in with buddies.

By christmas I was alone in the place.

Why didn't I have new roommates? The college had the weird system for transferrs. You had to request to move to a different room, and they processed that. After the move, the person with an empty space would have to contact housing and *tell them* they had a space.

Apparently they seldom reviewed the vacancies because at the time, the dropout rate was such that by the end of the first quarter there were no people in the overflow rooms and they really didn't need to pursue the vacancies unless they ran out of "reported" ones.

None of it was computerized at the time.

I ended up taking down one of the bunk beds and making it into a "couch" in one of the rooms, and stacking up two of the desks to make more space. Used a third desk as a center island food prep/poker table.

I set my stereo up on the top bunk of my other bed.

Most days, though? I love living alone

Me, too, Steph. I love having my own little space. I shared a room with at least one sibling (sometimes 2) until I was 16. In undergrad, I shared dorm rooms. Grad school, I was on my own in the dorms (I was a Res. Hall Director, so I had my own apt. in the dorm).

All the schools I went to had sinks in the dorm rooms if they weren't suites (2 doubles sharing a bath). And, they were all tiny rooms.

NO! If you have any love for your boys ... please encourage them to go anywhere esle!

Mikal, it's just summer camp.

They are only 8 and 11. Summer basketball camp. Cool for them with the SU coaching staff and their quite nice athletic facilities. Also staying in the dorms will be fun. It will be a few years before I think college.

I do have a friend attending SU. He is on a soccer scholarship. He is Ecuadorian, born and raised in Miami. Seeing snow for the first time last year was quite interesting for him since they broke records.

Glad someone enjoyed our winter.

That's ok. B-Ball may be our only saving grace.

Ah, all this talk of dorm rooms makes me kind of nostalgic. For as hellish as it was, I had more friends when I lived in the dorms because it was much easier to hang with people two doors, or at most one floor, away than to have to drive anywhere. Kind of sad, but my next door neighbor from freshman year and I moved in together for our soph. year in The Dorm From Hell (which included a cockroach in my f*ing underwear drawer as well as a painful evcuation on 9/11 since it was a 17 story building in the middle of downtown Pittsburgh).

We know reside in a lush two bedroom and pay a fraction of what the dorms cost. But I wouldn't trade in the two years of dorm life I had, some great memories there. Although that didn't include S6 of Buffy since the dorm didn't get UPN at the time!

Some interesting pics I haven't seen from the Harmony-based Website calledEvil for Dummies

I was just looking at that favorite season survey, and they guy who's running it added some more results. I was shocked to see that season one got the most votes for least favorite season?!
