Howard University DORM LIFE:

1. Did your school(s) have single sex dorms? co-ed? combo?
Slow hall was co-ed. I think the atheletic dorms were co-ed too. The freshman dorms were single sex. But I stayed in this dorm called Meridian. It was co-ed and it was so much fun. Fun, fun, fun. It was fun because having visitors wasn't a problem.

2. Did you all have a visitation policy? What was it?
All visitors had to have identification. Visitation was over at certain hours. Can't remember times.

3. Did you live in SS or Co-ed dorms? Why (if you had a choice)?
After freshman year I lived in a co-ed dorm (by choice) because I wanted to live like normal folk. After Meridian, I found an apartment off campus.

4. Did you sneak folks in and out?
In and out.

5. Did you have roommates? Do you still keep in touch with them?
I had a roommate freshman year and that was it. Not even the whole freshman year because the girl left. I was very fortunate.


I do remember hogging the hallway payphone.
The kitchen was filthy. Oodles of noodles was typically on the dinner menu because I couldn't cook. I ate so much of it. Today I won't touch the stuff. I don't know, college life was fantastic.

Edited to add an outrageous moment: Freshman Year (living in the quad), I made my boyfriend, who came all the way from NY, wear a wig in order to sneak him in. It was very cold out. He stayed in my room the entire week. That was totally outrageous.
