Do you remember the names of the dorms you lived in during college?

[Kitty 34]

I lived in several:

Dole Hall...my Freshman year.
Mary/Martha Hall.......my Sophmore year
Gross Hall (yes, we were referred to as the gross women :rolleyes: :teeth: ).....my other two years.

I think there are some interesting names out there for dorms!! :banana:

[AllyandJack]

I lived in Warren Towers. :faint: :eek: :crazy2:

Then, I lived in the Dean's House on Bay State Road. 22 hour quiet hours. Yeah, right!!!! But, at least there were no stalls in the bathroom. You had a toilet and a shower and a door and privacy. There were 3 on the floor for 15 girls. The entire place was girls, execpt the 2 boys who lived in the basement. They had to be there because, in MA, it's illegal to have more than 8 unrelated women living together without a dude. :rotfl:

[FSUGrad97]

I lived in Deviney Hall at FSU my freshman year, then I lived in my sorority house for my sophmore, junior, and senior years.

Granted, I spent a LOT of time at my DH's (who was my boyfriend at the time) fraternity house. :thumbsup2

[pozey]

I don't recall the name of the dorm I stayed in my freshman year. After that, I lived in a house with friends.

I DO however remember the name of the GIRLS dorm.......POSEY HALL... :cool1: :thumbsup2 :banana: :rotfl:

Yep.......and I AM related..... :thumbsup2

[mom2taylorandemily]

I lived in Old Hall all 4 years. Two years with room-mate, then two years in a single room.

[escape]

The entire place was girls, execpt the 2 boys who lived in the basement. They had to be there because, in MA, it's illegal to have more than 8 unrelated women living together without a dude. :rotfl:
Holy cow! Is this law still in existence? :rotfl2:

I lived in Fulbright Hall and then in a sorority house.

[becka]

I lived in Foster Dorm my freshman year and then spent the next 3 years in Mabee Dorm.

[Jeafl]

I lived in Miner Hall freshman and sophomore year, and Independence Hall apartments junior and senior years.

[helenabear]

Nosker House for 2 years and Morrill Tower for 2

[rhanditresmom]

Freshman year it was Flippen-Perrin; sophomore year it was Frances Crawford East! After that is was my apartment with my DH! Yep, I got my MRS is just 2 years! yippeeeee!!!!

[lindakmonty]

I didn't go to college, but I remember my ex-boyfriend lived in Verder Hall at Kent State :)

[MareQ]

I lived in several:

Dole Hall...my Freshman year.
Mary/Martha Hall.......my Sophmore year
Gross Hall (yes, we were referred to as the gross women :rolleyes: :teeth: ).....my other two years.

I think there are some interesting names out there for dorms!! :banana:


I lived in the "Women's Center" and "Gribble Hall" :)

[DisneyDotty]

Trelease and Lincoln Halls for me. And I was an RA my junior and senior years at Trelease. **sigh** Why does that seem a hundred years ago?

[SC Minnie]

Ours didn't have names at the time. My freshman year was the first year the dorms opened and were for freshman only. We had apartments on campus that I stayed in my Sophmore and Junior years. Off campus Senior year.

[D,L and K's Mom]

Yup I do many many great memories!

Lammers Hall (triple room) Freshman Year
Lammers Hall (double room) Sophmore Year
Lammers Hall (R.A. single room) Junior and Senior Year

So much fun!!!!

[ElizaB39]

I lived in Dahl (doll) Hall :rolleyes: as a freshie, then in Snarr Hall as a Soph, then off campus in apartments.

[jimmalru80]

Clothier - Freshman
Off Campus Apartment - Soph
Brett - Junior
Silvers Apartments - Senior

[goodeats]

I only lived in the dorms freshman year (Sproul Hall, where I met now DH!), and then moved to a sorority house for two years, then an apartment with some of my friends. Great fun!

One of the dorms was called Dykstra! I believe it was torn down and is now all suite type dorms. When I went to school they could only guarantee housing on campus for Freshman and Sophomores, now there are so many more dorm rooms that you can live on campus all four years (of course now it's much more expensive so there's less demand for dorm rooms)

[lillygator]

University of Florida:
Freshman year: Jennings Hall
Soph:Beatty Towers
Junior:Sun Bay apartments (yuck!)

Rodney Hall (Freshman and Soph)
Strawberry Run Apts. Junior and Senior Years

[jajuan]

Dobie Hall...it was a dorm just off campus at UT...there were no rules at all...it was pure chaos all of the time. I really can't believe my grandmother agreed to it.

[diznygirl]

Our dorms did not have names. :( Just numbers. Lived in Dorms 10 and 16.

Thing is - when I was there was no dorm 9.... :confused3 I think they finally built one.

[Todd&Copper]

William & Mary:
Freshman year I lived in Nicholson - someone had painted a really good portrait of Jack from "The Shining" on the wall at the entrance. It was wild!

[jocon]

I DO however remember the name of the GIRLS dorm.......POSEY HALL... :cool1: :thumbsup2 :banana: :rotfl:

Yep.......and I AM related..... :thumbsup2

I was lmao for another, inappropriate reason...... :teeth:

[Towncrier]

Howe House my freshman year, then Glaser House for the remainder of my stay at college. I believe that they are tearing down Glaser House soon to make way for more contemporary college housing. We actually had a dorm reunion of sorts last June. The university opened up the dorm for us to have a party. As much as I enjoyed my college days and living in that dorm, I could not get over how much that place looked like a prison.

[laurajetter]

--At Towson (State) University--

First semester, Freshman year: Prettyman Hall

Next 3.5 years: Tower D

[RSoxFan]

Holy cow! Is this law still in existence? :rotfl2:

.

It's still on the books, but it's pretty much ignored. I went to an all-girls' college, so we got around it. I think they used to consider more than 8 nonrelated women living together an automatic brothel. :rolleyes:

I lived in all of the dorms on my campus (small school)

Domitilla Hall freshman year
Angela Hall sophomore year
Maria Hall junior year
College Hall senior year (original name, huh?)

[hpygrll]

BGSU - Freshman year - Chapman Hall
OSU - Sophomore year - Canfield Hall (the nunnery)

Hated dorm life....it's an unnatural state of being!!!

Jenny :)

[RSoxFan]

Hated dorm life....it's an unnatural state of being!!!

Jenny :)

I couldn't agree more! I remember one professor saying, "What are they thinking, putting all those women in one building? It's asking for trouble!" And she was a psychologist. :rotfl:

[luvmydogs]

This is a neat thread. :)

Main Bldg.--Freshman and soph. years (every college has a Main, right?!)
Dodge Hall--Junior year
Leach :crazy2: Hall--Senior year

[Madaboutthemouse]

Freshman year -- East Hall (3 weeks) and Helman Hall
Sophmore, Junior, fall semester Senior year -- Garver Hall
spring semester Senior year -- back home with Mom and stepdad while I student taught

[Jockaroo]

I registered late for my freshman year (got an unexpected full-tuition scholarship), so I was put in the "left-over" dorm the school wanted to close. It was called West Hall officially, but dubbed the "virgin vault" due to no visitation privileges. The school closed it at the end of the semester and allowed all residents first choice of the other dorms. I ended up in Yoakley Hall, which was an upper classman dorm at the time, for the rest of college.

[amy4bruce]

Ah, college days!

In 1969, at State University of New York College at Cortland, I lived in Shea Hall. This was the year that the Mets won the World Series :thumbsup2 , and we were thinking of sending them a telegram, saying "Congratulations to the men of Shea Stadium from the men of Shea Hall." We got drunk instead.

In my sophomore year, I lived, for the first semester, in Cheney Hall, one of the campus's two co-ed dorms. (This was 1970 - the other was Degroat Hall.)

Half-way through the year, I moved off campus. I lived on Groton Avenue, but don't remember the number. (I filled in for someone, and wound up in a place that I didn't want to be.)

My other off campus addresses were 15 Hubbard Street and 69 Maple Avenue. (On the last one, we claimed to have looked for a house with that number. :rotfl: )

What really worries me is that I can't remember the names of the graduate dorm I lived in when I studied for my MA at the University of Tennessee :sad2: . It was on Andy Holt Blvd, and was an old dorm, because it didn't have air conditioning. I'll probably remember it at 3am tomorrow morning.

[daisyduck123]

Freshman Year - Manokin Hall
Sophomore Year - Manokin Hall
Then, I transferred schools & came home...went to a nearby state college.

[mickman1962]

Mom's Basement

[AllyandJack]

It's still on the books, but it's pretty much ignored. I went to an all-girls' college, so we got around it. I think they used to consider more than 8 nonrelated women living together an automatic brothel. :rolleyes:


That's what they told us. However, it was MUCH better to have 50 females living with 2 guys stuffed in the basement like rats. :rotfl: My college was co-ed, so I think they had to follow the rules. Of course, ALL the guys on campus wanted to live in the basement of the Brownstones that were all women on the main floors. :goodvibes

Can't you tell I was a commuting student? I've never lived in a dorm.

Junior - Offenhauer West
Senior - ADPi Sorority House

[Eeyore'sthebest]

Welch Hall - freshman year
Tolley - sophomore year
Brown - half of junior year and then a semester in Brussels.
Hoyt-Bowne - senior year

The majority (well over 90%) lived on campus. Campus life was a hoot for me.

[cryssi]

Spruce Street House freshman year
sorority house soph and jr. years
house with friends sr. year

[Spoodleink]

My school had no imagination

Freshman Housing II
Sophmore House IV
Junior off campus
Senior off campus

[jaycns]

Freshman year- Heidelburg
Sophmore year-Heidelburg
Junior year- Augsburg
Senior year- off campus

[Pixiedust34]

I attended Slippery Rock University, and I know of at least 1 other alum who posts here. Are there any other SRU grads lurking around?

(Yes, there really IS a Slippery Rock University!)

Freshman year: Founders Hall
Sophomore year: Harner Hall
Junior Year: Founder Hall (as a resident advisor, so I had a private room)
Senior Year: Harner Hall (resident advisor again--private room)

When I was a resident advisor, we were assigned which buildings we had to live in, and I ended up in the same old, same old.

We have not been back to SRU since about 15 years ago. I know it's changed a lot. I'd like to go back and walk around the campus sometime, plus hit the outlets in Grove City.

[Jen_in_NH]

Hmm - if I can remember that far back.... :)

Freshman Year - Sturtevant / Hillside
Sophmore Year - Mariner / Hillside
Junior year - semester abroad, then Drummond
Senior Year - West Quad

That took a minute to think of

Jen

[ClarabelleCowFan]

Seminole Hall/Tower (I forget) at UCF!

[liamsaunt]

Freshman year: Sylvan
Sophmore year: Butterfield

Then off campus for the remainder. Butterfield was way too traumatic. Some of the people that lived there were seriously whacked. One example off the top of my head: a thunderstorm started during dinner, and almost everyone tore all their clothes off, ran around the dining room naked, and then outside for a naked mud fight. Not the most appetizing sight when you are just trying to eat dinner!

[pigletz]

I can't believe that I'm the third BGSU person to post on this thread.

Freshman: Chapman
Sophmore: Dunbar
Junior and Senior: Off campus apartment

[Miss Jasmine]

Jennings Hall - Freshman year (summer, I started early)
Murphee Hall - Freshman year (fall semester)
Jennings Hall - Freshman (summer, yes I missed Spring semester, shhh).
Off Campus Apartment - Sophomore Year Fall/Spring/Summer
Buckmann Hall Co-op - Junior Year Fall/Spring/Summer/Fall
Off Campus Duplex - Senior Year Spring/Summer/Fall

My Semesters all screwed up because of the semester I missed and then attending every summer. Anyway, I think that is a close breakdown. :rotfl: I graduated two semesters late (an additional summer and fall semester, but I guess when you really think about it, it was ONLY one semester late as I missed a semester). PHEW how confusing.

[mom2boys]

Mont Alto Hall - freshman & 2/3 sophomore
Simmons - last 1/3 sophomore
Then off-campus
Cederbrook Apts and
the 2nd & 3rd floor of a house on Barnard St.

[ImarriedGrumpy]

Trevor Hall - Freshman & Sophmore years
Drahiem House - Jr. Year ("small house" of all women - about 30 of us in an old frat house that got converted to the only female-only housing on campus when the frat got kicked off campus for bad behavior.)
Kohler Hall - Sr. Year - and had a single room with a sink in it - the best!

Oh, and our food service building (aka dining hall) was "Downer Commons", or just "Downer". Appropriate for campus dining... ;)

[KozmicLee]

Cawthon Hall, FSU transfer dorm.

Only went away to school for a year, the rest was junior college.

[15minfromOGDL]

I probably have one of the strangest names on this thread:

Mirkwood

A location in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. In fact my dorm complex was named Middle Earth.

[MorganLeFey]

My undergrad career was at the State University of New York at Albany. I graduated in only 3 years -- had some AP credits, did summer school at SUNY Stony Brook.

There were Five Quads -- the four uptown quads near the main campus (Indian Quad, Dutch Quad, Colonial Quad and State Quad), and Alumni Quad downtown. (undergrads usually did not want to live on Alumni Quad.)

Freshman year I lived in the tower on State Quad -- I don't remember the name for the tower, everyone just called it the tower. real fun evacuating the building every time some idiot pulled the fire alarm in the middle of the night (which they did quite often that fall, as the Yankees were in the playoffs and the World Series that year.)

my two remaining years at the school I lived on Dutch Quad -- I think one year in Van Rennsaelier (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) and one year in either Ten Eyck or Ten Broeck.


for law school I lived mostly in an off campus apartment.

[trip]

Crownhart Hall - freshman and sophomore years
Off campus - last 2 years

[Cindy's Mom]

All day I've been reading the title of this this thread saying "momma, pappa, sista" and just cracking myself up! It was Richie Cunningham who said that when some one asked him what dorm he lived in........

Sophomore Year/Fall of Junior Year - Fort Hill residence hall

Mercifully, DH and I became engaged just before Christmas my junior year and I lived with him thereafter.

[JoyG]

I lived in Lambein Hall for fresh & soph years.
Off campus junior year
Back on campus at East Hall for senior year.

The saying back then was the boys "dated the girls from Lambein and married the girls from East."

My college boyfriend dated and married me. :goodvibes

[NCRedding]

Freshman year: Harris Hall (now torn down)
Soph/Jr.: Wallace Hall (next to be destroyed)
Senior: Long Dorm--the oldest on campus, still standing, and no plans to tear down.

Hi mickeymo: I am an ADPi also.

We have so many dorms in the south named for the Belk families, and the Duke families, I'm surprised I haven't heard these names yet.

[snowwhitesmom]

yup -
Freshman Year - Pemigewasset Hall
Sophomore Year - same
Junior Year - Smith
Senior Year - Student Apartments
But most of my time was spent at my sorority house, or DBF's fraternity house! :lmao:

[OK!]

I lived in Lathrop Hall for 2 days before learning that my roommate had failed the English entrance exam required at Mizzou and therefore I'd need to move if I didn't want to pay for a single, which I didn't. Moved to Jones Hall (room 401, to be precise :thumbsup2 ) for the rest of freshman year, and then into my sorority house. Ah, good times.

[monarchsfan16]

Freshman year - Jessie Doe (an all freshman dorm except for the RAs)
Sophomore year - Hubbard Hall
Junior and Senior years - sorority house

UNH?? If so, Jessie Doe is no longer all freshmen (not by a long shot). I lived in Hubbard this past year

[yearbook50]

Freshman year - Morgan Hall
Since then off-campus. Lived with Sorority sisters last year in this apartment. They graduated and I now live with my fiance.

[paigevz]

Yes, Wentz Hall at Oklahoma State University..........and dh lived in Bennett Hall. He lived on the same floor as Barry Sanders, but those guys didn't get much time for socializing.

[Talking Hands]

Univ of Miami
freshman year 730 East and Mahoney Hall
Sophomore on 960 Towers on the girls side
American Univ, DC grad school at home with my parents
Miami-Dade College for ITP no dorms I lived at home with my DH and daughters and commuted

[Aurora63]

I lived in Deviney Hall at FSU my freshman year, then I lived in my sorority house for my sophmore, junior, and senior years.

Granted, I spent a LOT of time at my DH's (who was my boyfriend at the time) fraternity house. :thumbsup2

Hi! I lived in Deviney too, when I was a sophomore in '96-97. When were you there?

I lived in Gilchrist Hall my freshman year.

[FSUGrad97]

Hi! I lived in Deviney too, when I was a sophomore in '96-97. When were you there?

I lived in Gilchrist Hall my freshman year.

I lived in Deviney in 1993-1994. What a small world!! :sunny:

[belle&beast]

I lived In Schwitzer Hall AKA the virgin vault (only all girl's dorm on campus) my Freshman year and the sorority house for the next 3 years.

[Simba's Mom]

Freshman year-lived at home
Sophomore-Stoddard A (there was a B&C)
Junior-Riley
Senior-back to Stoddard A

DS lived in Bruce Hall all the time he lived on campus. Moms, imagine this-bringing your "baby" (he's the youngest) to college over 500 miles away, so you're feeling down and nervous to begin with. Then you look at the trophy case in the lounge of the dorm you're hesitantly leaving your son at, and you see a big trophy "Bruce Hall-Champion, Oatmeal Mud-Wrestling Tournament, 1999." This Mom was about ready to say "Don't bother unpacking. You're coming back home with us!"

[DMickey28]

Fall '96 & '97 I was in Grayson. After that I was on my own.....

[pjshaff]

At UK

Kirwan IV for freshman year
Kirwan III for sophmore year

after that I went to FIU and telecommuted

Holy cow! Is this law still in existence? :rotfl2:

I lived in Jones Hall and then in a sorority house.

Did you by chance got to Arkansas Tech?

I did and I lived in Jones Hall- Freshman.
Roush Hall- Sophomore
off campus- Junior and Senior

[escape]

Did you by chance got to Arkansas Tech?

OMG! :rotfl2: No, I didn't go to Tech but I did mention Jones didn't I. Geez! I've got to change my answer. I guess I just had it on my mind. However, a lot of my friends went to ATU and lived in Jones and some of us were just talking about that the other day.

I went to U of A. I just visited the Web site and noticed that my dorm is no longer there! :scared1: And now I can't remember the name of it!!!! I'm getting too old for this!

Edit to add - Fulbright Hall. How could I forget!!! Named after one of our former senators.

[TDC Nala]

Eggleston, Slusher, Campbell and Ambler-Johnston.

[luvmyboys]

BGSU - Freshman year - Chapman Hall
OSU - Sophomore year - Canfield Hall (the nunnery)

Hated dorm life....it's an unnatural state of being!!!

Jenny :)

OMG! I had a friend in Canfield! She tried to sneak guys in all the time, never once successful! We thought they hired ex-CIA agents to be RA's in that building!

I was in Steeb Hall, future DH was in Park Hall. Ahh the memories!

[becjlek]

Lawther Hall, Univ. of Norther Iowa.
GO PANTHERS!!

[Kitty 34]

Just want to say I'm enjoying your answers. Some interesting names of dorms here and some cute stories!! :)

My oldest DS was in Simpson Hall all of his years in college. (5 to be exact)

My middle DS will start out this year in the West Quad.

[mskani]

I lived in Garner, which was part of the infamous "Six Pack" at the University of Illinois for my freshman and sophomore years and Clark for my junior and senior years.

[LindaG4458]

UNH?? If so, Jessie Doe is no longer all freshmen (not by a long shot). I lived in Hubbard this past year


Yes, but many years ago (1966-70). Hubbard was brand new when I lived there and we had no telephones for the first two months of the year :eek: Killed the social life.

Is Jessie Doe all class levels now, and is it co-ed?

[monarchsfan16]

Yes, but many years ago (1966-70). Hubbard was brand new when I lived there and we had no telephones for the first two months of the year :eek: Killed the social life.

Is Jessie Doe all class levels now, and is it co-ed?
I wish there were no telephone lines in Hubbard still. It would stop the issue we have with credit card companies calling at 6 AM :furious: I knew it was new somewhere around then, because my mom started there in '74 and she says it was fairly new back then
Yup, Jessie Doe is all classes and co-ed. Seems to be predominantly upperclassmen (lots of juniors this past year) and a lot of athletes. They now use good ole Williamson and Christianson for the all freshmen dorms. You couldn't pay me enough to live in either one. Alexander is also all frosh I believe

[luvfigment]

Freshman year ~ Coddington (please no flames but the area was nicknamed the Ghetto)

Sophmore yr ~ Sorority House

Jr and Sr yr ~ "Down the Line" off campus beach houses that we rented out. I had an ocean view both yrs, it was great.

Another Rock alum here!

Freshman & Sophomore years: North Hall (first semester 3 per room, second semester 2, second year 3 per room)
Junior & Senior years: Kraus Hall (single room both years)

They are doing so much building up there right now. Founders is gonna be history soon as is Dodds I believe.

Rock on!

[Breezy_Carol]

I lived in Talcott Hall my first 3 years on campus and in an apartment in NYC fir clinicals senior years.

DD lived in Elkton Hall her freshman year at University of Maryland which is funny because we live in Elkton. She was in Carroll Sopmore and now Allegany.
