DORM LIFE:
Did your school(s) have single sex dorms? co-ed? combo?
All of the above. Single sex, co-ed by floor, co-ed by section or suite, and co-ed by room.
2. Did you all have a visitation policy? What was it?
You had to be let in the building by someone who lived in the building. All of the buildings were locked. I cannot remember if the all girls dorm had a restriction on overnight male guests (not that it would have deterred anything!)
3. Did you live in SS or Co-ed dorms? Why (if you had a choice)?
The dorm I lived in (when I lived in a dorm) was co-ed by section. I was placed there as a freshman and stayed for sophomore year. I was also assigned there as an RA my junior year.
4. Did you sneak folks in and out?
No need. Only reason to sneak is nosey classmates in ya bidness!
5. Did you have roommates? Do you still keep in touch with them?
Alas, my dorm was almost all singles. A little isolating as a new freshman but heavebnly after the first month!!
I did have three roommates in a 4 bedroom off campus apartment my senior year. Of those roommates- Ayo- talk all the time, Tamika- yes, Vanessa- once every blue moon.
Reminisce about dorm life. Funny moments? Outrageous moments?
Most of my closest girlfriend from college were the other Black women assigned to my dorm my year and the year after. We had a ball running back and forth to each other's rooms. I will have to think about and come up with some dorm stories.
