Bergin has been closed for 5 years now.

Pretty sure there's a sweet mural of Rip Hamilton there.

you young folks should have seen it when every dorm had a keg (or 2) every Thursday, everyone could drink in their rooms, the package stores delivered 6 packs to your room, there was a pub in the Student Union and beerfests were held every weekend on campus

The world just isn't fun anymore. Everything is too "dangerous"

'08 here as well. Those days were insanity.

I was '01 to '05. At the time I loved the party scene, but looking back at it we got away with way too much. I doubt I would have made it past a semester without getting arrested under the current situation. Spring Weekend was insanity. Not sure how much they cracked down on it, but they had to do something. When we went to the Thursday night Celeron party on Spring Weekend my freshman year within about a half hour of arriving I saw two cars get flipped over and lit on fire before the police tear gassed the area.

It was fun at the time, but for sure the University can't allow that kind of stuff. They had to crack down on it.

Sorry to all you young'uns that us old timers killed the party scene for you.

I just missed that time. But we still had the occasional beer ball hidden in someone's closet.

i was '84 to '89. right at the start of the clampdown. the drinking age was raised right ahead of me and my freshman year was the first that kegs were not allowed on campus. But things were still lenient. Everyone had fake id's and no one cared. Drinking was allowed in dorms even though most people weren't legal.

The spring weekend of '85 the concert was outside at the student union mall. pretty sure it was the Waitresses and some no name reggae band. I had a wheelchair i used as dorm furniture, so my friends and I (all underage) put a keg in it, gave it fake arms, legs and a head, dressed it up like a person and wheeled it to the show. all kinds of authority figures saw it, including police but everyone laughed it off.
