Freshmen were usually crowded in our dorms - 3 people in a double, or 4 people in a triple. Picture this: Three women in a double, each with her own computer, monitor, printer, hair dryer, curling iron or other styling implement, desk lamp. Now add in a space heater, a couple of fans, telephone and answering machine, and two stereos. Consider that the dorm was built (and the wiring done) in the 1970's, and the wiring in that room was only intended to support two people's stuff, and it's a wonder we didn't start our own nice little electrical fire. Thankfully we had a kitchen to put the microwave and toaster oven in!
