I want to go tanning now :(

Edited to add: Anyone know how I can find a tanning salon in downtown chicago?

Tanning's all to common at my campus.

I recall seeing students with their towels laid out on Bachman Lawn, the Engineering Quad, and the park next to the campus apartments.

I never understood why they'd tan on campus, though. Waikiki's only a short 5 minute bus ride away.

It was very common at Boston U. BU doesn't have a traditional campus, so to speak, but there is one area of grass in the middle called the BU beach. When the weather warmed up, there were always people tanning in that area. It was always a sign that summer was finally coming.

Whenver it was warm out, people would be tanning on every quad and in their yards. when it wasn't warm out, it was sometimes difficult to get an appointment at any of the 900 tanning salons in town.

Word. However, Miami Beach is open until midnight so that helps.

Does it still go 24 hours the week before spring break?

I don't know. But that would be grrrrreat. Not that it would help, since we Irish folk have difficulty with the tanning.

And even though it was open 24 hours, you still couldn't get an appointment!

I can't believe people still tan.

Me either. I know of a few people who are addicted to self-tanners and tanning salons..and despite the fact that I tell them time and time again that they look so damn ridiculous, they still do it!

I'm all about having a natural tan. That's cool. It doesn't take a genius to figure out when you're overdone.

I've found in life that there are two types of women. Those who like farmer's tans and those who think they look ridiculous.

I never understood tanning. I guess it is b/c I'm naturally tan ;)

I'll never forget my first sorority formal. All I would hear around the house was when people were planning on going tanning or which tan they got.. where they got it...:p

I don't remember ever seeing anyone tan on the UNT campus though?

I think @ TAMU-CC that would be totally understandable since it is the school built on a beach :p A bunch of my high school friends went there and I looooooooved the fun atmosphere of the campus! (the beach parties were fun too ;))

Tanning was big if you lived in the dorms. There was a huge field surrounding all the dorms and people would just sprawl out on weekends and whatnot. Though I don't know that many people that go out to tan purposely on the main campus. It's usually too warm here to stay outside for long periods of time and then head to class. I HAVE been sunburned though from standing outside too long in the sun on campus. (Fall recruitment and Greek Week/Sing come to mind.)

I hear you, girl.

I've been blessed with the genes so I'm naturally "dark" or "tan" or whatever you call it...but I'm glad I live in a place where it's pretty much 80 degrees 80% of the year. ;)

The reflection pond is where the UCF students go to tan. It's right in front of the library.

I walked by this very spot this morning and thought about this thread, it's kinda funny because there are four big trees covering the area. :confused: I wonder how much sun he got!

Re: Re: Tanning at school?
 

maybe it was just hot/humid so he took off his shirt and wasn't really planning on tanning?

it gets really hot there in the summer :(

I get a tan just walking from my car to class! Seriously, TAMUCC needs to do something about their parking/traffic issue. :rolleyes:

Seriously, longest stinking walk I've ever taken.

Moravian has one big soccer field/quad where we use to go out and tan on the hill side by the student union...or sit in the shade of the trees that lined both sides of the field. Water bottles, cell phone, and dinner snuck outside on trays...loved it.

the first dorm i ever lived in (affectionately called the "princess hall" by all of the residents) was the only dorm that had a sundeck. girls would regularly go up there, lay on some chairs or mats and tan.

at night, some of the RA's would go up there to catch their naughty residents sneaking in boys :p

This may shock kddani & fire1977, but we used to go out on the roof of Amos Hall (where all but two of the sororities are) and tan religiously!


A few years later and two skin cancer operations later, I deeply regret my days of being a life guard & tanning in general. Redheads & others with fair skin aren't meant to be tan!!

My trainer keeps telling me to start getting more sun. He says i'll be more defined if I am a bit darker.

I say I'll be a bit more defined if I laid off the beer.

I do look a little white. Maybe some sun wouldnt be bad. Not like I am doing anything for spring break. Once ya get past 25, you dont get to celebrate spring break (unless you are a teacher).
