I didn't mind it that much, but she did kinda flip out on us....she wouldn't let guys walk to to the door...the front door. Microwaves were not allowed, but my room mate and I had a George Forman grill, microwave, and a toaster (never got caught

) please don't get caught doing anything wrong, because you will be fined! I am sure NinjaPoodle, and Monet can attest to that (not saying you were fined).

OMG, curfew flashback!

That's cuz there ain't nuthin' but a blinkin' yellow light left on in Tuskegee... :P J/K

Curfew: several HBCU's are reinstituting them. Spelman DEFINITELY had one when I was there. I heard they stopped it, then restarted with a more relaxed version. Too many of the girls getting pregnant...

All freshmen had curfew: You have to be in by 10 PM on the weekdays and by 2 AM on the Weekends.

If you got caught after curfew, you were written up and had to be in your room at 6 PM for 2 weeks!!!

That's happened to my roommate.

Freshman year, I had a buckwild class--Engineering Graphics, when I thought I wanted to be an engineer and this what B.C.--before computers. My final, I had to "spend the night". So, I asked my Resident Hall Director if it was okay. She said yes. I got a B outta that crazy course.

Quiet hours wer 24 hours a day in my dorm and the fine for violation was $100!

Let's say you go to class and your alarm is going off....when you get back from class.......$100 fine! No questions asked. We didn't see guys until we went to class and she probably didn't want us to see them then. I remember on girl was moving a huge trunk in the dorm and it was full. The director suggested

(told) that a bunch of girls got together to move it b/c she was not going to let any males (unless it was someones dad) in her dorm. Despite all of that I had fun and I appreciated her for her views, because my roomie and I went to Alabama State to visit some of her former classmates and it was a whole different world.

All the dorms were single-sex, doubtful if there is a co-ed option now but I could be wrong. At GSU, the guys were on the other side of the campus. When I was there, doors closed and were LOCKED at midnight. You were S.O.O.L. if you were out after midnight and hopefully you left your window open on your 2nd floor dorm room and you wore flat shoes and you know how to climb a window.

(seriously) Male visitors had to be out of the lobby by 11. No male visitors to your room. This rule changed the 2nd semester I was there.

I'll have to remember that.

I think 3 of 12 dorms at the college I looked at are co-ed. However ALL freshman dorms (male and female) are single gender and say members of the opposite sex can only be present in the lobby. For upper-classmen it changes to in the any area of the hall (I assume) at designated times. I'm hoping to luck out and get one of the upper-classmen dorms specified for the band, which may or may not be a good thing. How do you regulate who is where in co-ed dorms?

It says all that but doesn't mention curfew. Only key card entry with (I think) the doors that beep like hell if left open too long which can be DETRIMENTAL to sneaking in at 1 a.m.
