1. Did your school(s) have single sex dorms? co-ed? combo?
We had one dorm that was co-ed (one floor was male, another floor was female, etc.). This lst for two years and the university got rid of it. Now, all dorms are either all-male or all-female.
2. Did you all have a visitation policy? What was it?
Yes. We had visitation hours from 9am - 11pm during the week and I think until 12 or 1 am on Friday and Saturday. Sometimes, during the late hours of the night, our Dorm director (or Housing director) would do surprise "room checks" .
If you were taking visitors of the opposite sex up to your room, you had to sign them in at the front desk and escort them. Didn't matter if it was your dad, brother, cousin, or boyfriend.
Anyone could come and hang out in the lobby.
3. Did you live in SS or Co-ed dorms? Why (if you had a choice)?
Single sex dorm because we had no choice.
4. Did you sneak folks in and out?
Yep. Shoot I was grown! *lol*
5. Did you have roommates? Do you still keep in touch with them?
Yes. I still keep in touch with my old roomates. Except for my very first college roommate. She was GHETTO as all get out! She was a big girl, with BLOND hair and wore these (literally) Coke-bottle thick glasses!
! Just to give yall a visual, picture Robin Harris with blond hair and some thick glasses like Sophia from The Golen Girls. And y'all she talked EXACTLY liked Sha-na-na, I'm not playing.
And of course she thought I was not "black enough"
since I spoke standard english and due to other superficial stuff (long hair, skin tone, etc.).
Ohhhh, the fall semester couldn't end fast enough!
Ol' Heffa!
