College Dorms. . .A Few Questions

[LeLe]

I attend Central Michigan University currently...


1. Did your school(s) have single sex dorms? co-ed? combo?
Both single sex and Co-ed dorms

2. Did you all have a visitation policy? What was it?
Only between you and your roommates do you want guys over and on what days or times.

3. Did you live in SS or Co-ed dorms? Why (if you had a choice)?
Both. My fist year I lived in a SS dorm. Now I live in a Co-Ed dorm. If I had to chose I would chose CO-ED because the SS dorm got robbed alot.

4. Did you sneak folks in and out?
No need. You can have whomever you want over as long as its okay with your roommates

5. Did you have roommates? Do you still keep in touch with them?
I have three roommates but we all have our own bedrooms.

Oh lawd!! ya'll taking me back with this one! I couldn't help but reply!

DORM LIFE: @ the College with the #1 marching band in the land...Bethune-Cookman College!

1. Did your school(s) have single sex dorms? co-ed? combo?
**Before I begin, i was recruited HARD to come across the country to attend BCC. The showed me where I was going to stay (honors dorms) but NEVER told me there was a curfew for freshmen. 11pm on weekdays, and 1am on weekends. Now, I'm in Daytona Beach, Florida...what club do you know of that closes before 1am???!!! At the club they used to give us the 15, 10, and 5 minute warning to get back to the dorms. The DJ would stop the music and point out all the freshmen and tell us how much time we had before curfew. How embarassing! (as if we didn't look like freshmen!)
**We had SS rooms, and there was NO WAY they would EVER have co-ed rooms. And to make matters worse, male and female dorms were on opposite sides of the campus, so if you were out late night on the wrong side of campus, security knew what you were up to, and escorted you BACK to your side!

2. Did you all have a visitation policy? What was it?
**We could have visitors in the LOBBY ONLY until 11pm.

3. Did you live in SS or Co-ed dorms? Why (if you had a choice)?
**I lived in SS (no choice!)

4. Did you sneak folks in and out?
** Oh, no! I came to the conclusion that there was no man worth me getting kicked out of school for (which would happen if you got caught).

5. Did you have roommates? Do you still keep in touch with them?
**I had a roommate my freshman year who was what we used to call a "holy roller" at the time. She was saved, sanctified, and filled with the holy ghost! I felt so bad about not being as "saved" as her, that I would go to my friends room to get changed for the club!
**I had a roommate my junior year as well that was nasty. she was a 4.0 student, but her side of the room was junky, and I found moldy stuff near her bed...just gross!
I do keep up with my roommate from my freshmen year.

Reminisce about dorm life. Funny moments? Outrageous moments?
My sophomore year I had my own room, so my friends would come down to my room and get thier last minute primp-on since my room was right next to the exit. One day, my homegirl obviously still sleepy, decides to freshen up her breath before she goes to class,and ends up gargling with seabreeze (the astringent)!! We picked at her for a couple of weeks after that one!

Hey everybody...just thought I'd give the perspective for someone who's in it now. I am at University of Maryland- College Park. Neway....

1) My school has single sex and co-ed. I live co-ed, but I don't think there's an all guys dorm who knows why

2) Visitation policy?? Are you serious?!? People come and go all they want...I wish they could tell me who could visit me and when....lol

3) co-ed

4) n/a

5) I got a new roomate mid-semester...thank God!! She's definitely a lot better.

**I guess I can reminisce to a couple months ago**

The first thing is that as soon as I was freed from the prison of my house, I stayed out LATE, like 6am. Not that I was doing anything, but I could!! Now, of course I still stay out, but the novelty is gone.

Another thing is that my first roomate would talk sooooo much. She was one of those people where I would be sitting at my computer and reading outloud, or doing something where I was CLEARLY concentrating and she would NOT SHUT UP!!! Oh well, some just can't take a hint!

i know this is a part of college (black or otherwise) history, but what is the deal with all the curfews and SS dorms? i mean, has it proven to be better for college living and/or learning? and esp if u live close to a metro area, the club aint even jumpin til 1am! thats just me.

it sounds real old school to me. maybe i take how nyu operates for granted

i mean, do they really come by and check your beds to see if ur back by 11pm? thats some bs. what if ur up late or the library? or something.

no breathin room.
