10 Worst Dorms in America

[ASTalumna06]

I'm surprised so many people are THAT opposed to community bathrooms. I mean, I get it, but.. looking back on it, that was probably the most entertaining part about living in the freshmen dorms.

Let’s see…

There was the drunk girl who pretended to be a matron, pushing the hand dryer button for everyone who used the bathroom.. and she handed out candy before you left.

There was the one time I got written up with one of my friends for cutting through the boys bathroom (the bathrooms were in the middle of the floor, with a door on each side), and one of my other friends WOULD have been written up too, if she hadn’t kept running.. right out the door to the floor and down the stairs. The very serious “report” written up by the RA – which I still have to this day – reads, “A third female fled the scene.”

There was the time someone used police caution tape to wrap all of the stalls.. and that other time when someone filled all of the shower stalls with Jello.

Then there was the blonde girl who had all of her friends helping her to dye her hair red.. and then came the screaming when it turned orange.

Ah, memories.

I remember visiting UF with a fraternity brother and hanging out at his sister's "dorm" (it wasn't officially on-campus, but the only tenants were female students from the university). Their community bathrooms were cleaner than the individual bathrooms in the dorms at my alma mater.

Actually, getting written up was another awesome experience. Haha.. go figure.

First of all, I showed up in Student Affairs and had to talk to someone there about myself, and how everything was going with school, what I was involved in, blah blah blah. I guess they wanted to make sure I wasn’t “troubled.” So I said I was in a sorority. The woman asked me which one, I told her, and it turned out she was an AST, too! So we basically just hung out and talked (and later she became more involved with the sorority). So she said, “I know this is a really stupid thing to get written up for, but it’s my job and I have to do this.. so I need you to choose a small project to do.” They were little PR/safety/healthy living “advertisements,” so to speak, that you’d have to create. So I chose to design a flyer type thing to be put up around campus regarding the dangers of drinking and how to handle certain situations when it comes to alcohol.

I was bored one night (I’m pretty sure I was snowed in), so I went all out with it. What started out as a few flyers to be put up turned into something that was posted all over campus. They were also included with students’ information packets when they first arrived at school, and were handed out at different events regarding alcohol awareness. I felt pretty damn special. Lol.

And it was all because I spent 3 seconds in the guys’ bathroom.

That's more a reflection on the oollege's culture rather than dorms. It was impossible to get "written up" at my college for a dorm-related matter unless it was something that would have gotten you arrested outside the dorms.

Well, it really depended on the RAs at my school. A lot of them were cool, but the one that had me written up we would call (and I'm not using his real name) Deputy Mike. He ENJOYED writing people up.

I remember when New Found Glory played at my school, and the band's tour bus was outside, so me and my friend stood by it after the concert for about an hour. We weren’t extremely close, we didn’t run up to it, we were basically standing around in a place where people normally stand on campus, and Deputy Mike came to yell at us and told us we couldn’t be there. I asked him why, and he couldn’t come up with an answer. At this point more people were coming to stand with us, and in the middle of him being mad over nothing, the band walked onto the bus, hung out for 5 minutes, then came out to sign autographs. And the Deputy looked dumb.

Some people just don’t want others to have fun!

Oh, and that was kind of awesome, too, because news crews were around there and supposedly I was on tv for 5 seconds.

That kid inadvertently did a lot of good things for me! lol
