I used to get severely annoyed by all the fraternity boys living around us. My sorority house was next door to Farmhouse and Sig Ep with Pike and ATO behind us. Some of the boys like to flash those stupid laser pointer things into our bedroom at night, which made it hard to go to sleep. The Pikes were forever outside breaking shit or hammering stuff together in the middle of the night and I still to this day have no idea why. And of course there was the general loudness of screaming, drunk boys smashing beer cans and bottles while blaring loud music out their windows, at most times of the day.

Ahh, how I miss college life. ;)

I'm not that sensitive to loud noises, unless it's gun shots. I think this may be a white thing. :)

You are correct! I miss Columbus a lot, and am sort of hoping to head back there for grad school.

While I think I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood, my neighbor aparently doesn't. She's forever calling the cops on us for no apparent reason. One time the cops came to my house at about 3 AM. We were all VERY asleep, but she seemed to think that we were hammering on her outside walls (??!). Our houses are made of wood and naturally they have nails holding the boards on. There were hammer dents from where the nails were hammered in origninally. She made us all walk in the wet grass as she and the cop examined her walls. She thought my roomate and I were just out hammering on her house at 3 AM! The cops even thought she was crazy.

The cops have been called on me three times this semester for excessive noise (by her probably) yet we have yet to receive a noise violation. She needs to turn down her hearing aids or something because this is annoying.

Awesome. I went to Capital, which is relatively close to Dominican. I can see where you would get bothered by the airplanes a lot there.

I suppose there are two good things that come from all this construction around me, when they finish, around where I live, things will look nicer, and the roach coach that comes 10 times a day and plays that stupid horn. I sound angry at them, but the food is awesome, and parks right infront of our house. I guess some good can come from the bad.

This year seems to be the year of renovations in Morgantown. I've spent practically every day this semester being woken up at 7 AM (the earliest was 6:30 and I honestly debated throwing stuff at the workers) by jackhammering and whatever else they do during construction. The best part is though that they only seemed to do the loud stuff from 7-10 in the morning, then fool around the rest of the day (me and my roommates have been whistled at countless times walking to class, it's horrible). I've slept at friends places some nights just so I could get a decent night's sleep, and then finally about a month ago I bought earplugs, which work to keep out the majority of the noise. This is the first year I'll actually be grateful for snow so it'll stop the construction!

I sleep through almost everything.

WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING?!?!
Telling a longhorn to transfer to A&M, psh, that's asking for a beating, haha. More so, telling someone to choose to live in College Station makes me question your sanity. :D I'd much rather deal with loud construction at 2 AM every day for the rest of my life.

However I too live in west campus and share the woes of the early morning construction noises and nails (TWO completely blown tires in a week and a half). But I have something else to add:
-The workers must not know what a water main looks like. My water has randomly died throughout the day for the past 3 months and every time I get in my car later to go somewhere and see water gushing into the streets.
