Anybody happen to live in Chandler (west) 4th floor and drew some demonic picture on the back of one of those hanging mirrors? Seems like something a BYer would do.

 

[Kembacity]

2000-2004 McMahon N, hopping from 4 to 5 to 7. Spent last semester in the Hilltop Apts, I want to say it was Ella Grasso bldg. if that was one of them

Justin Evanovich lived on our floor freshman year. Rode the elevator with Emeka once, saw him and Benny G in the building a few times since I think they lived in one of the West buildings

My freshman year there was a definite shortage of dorms, so they stuck people wherever a spot opened up, seemed like good luck to get tossed into McMahon. I remember a friend of mine was sent his room assignment like 2 days before move in, they stuck him in Towers

hahaha I agree with that thought. If anyone lived in a McMahon N room in like 2005 and found a prehistoric banana I can take the blame for that. moving out, my roommate and I found a banana under some piece of furniture that was basically a fossil at that point, duct taped it under a desk or dresser for shoots and goggles

What dorm did you live in on campus and when? I was in the Jungle, New Haven before moving off campus to Coventry Lake 1981.

Stowe B (old South campus) all 4 yrs ('81-'85) - had a great time! no basketball players any of my yrs but did have 2 soccer stars for one yr in Kieran Coffey and Eric Myren.

My freshman year we were named "party dorm of the year" by one of the frats (although I did little to help the effort...) The frat would have brothers visit parties all over campus every Thurs. night and assign a points system to pick a winner at year end. Back then the drinking age was 18 and kegs were free-flowing in what seemed like most every dorm lounge most Thurs. nights.

So the frats were next to North? I was the first class with with the new Northwest and it was all freshmen, there wasn't even grass on the quad yet. I guess it makes sense that it is not only freshmen anymore since it is one of the nicer dorms and that is unfair to everyone else. I lived in New London for a year and no one really called it the jungle, I guess the name just died off.

Northwest Batterson 2000-01
North New London 2001-2002
Carriage House 2002-2004

I was in the same class, and absolutely everyone I knew called it the Jungle whether they lived there or not.

Fr. - towers (Sousa)
So. - west (Shakespeare)
Jr. & Sr.1 - hunting lodge
Sr.2 - carriage (only one semester until I finished, then just weekends)

Do all the interior doors at hunting lodge still latch with magnets? That place was a dump but I had the best 6 months of my life in that apartment.

[Hey Adrien!]

04-05: Northwest-Russell. Only experience with a co-ed floor, good times.
05-06: North-New London. Had a room that was 3-feet wider than all the other rooms. Made a huge difference. I lived in one of the only two rooms with sophomores instead of freshmen, which ended up being pretty fun. Excellent time in the Jungle.
06-07: Hilltop-Ellsworth. Hated it. Awful roommate and dining hall sucked. Winter wind was abrasive.
07-08: East-Whitney. Absolutely loved it. Was a single in a double room that faced Horsebarn Hill. I was older than my RA and most of my dorm went away for the weekend, so I basically had free reign. The dining hall was amazing. Awesome memories. For current students, I highly recommend living here once you already have a group of friends established. Not a good place to live to meet friends, but I didn't care when I was a senior.

this is an interesting thread to read!

2011 - i lived in new london, our entire floor got demolished after the men won the championship (torn out ceiling and drywall, smashed lightbulbs, **** and piss all over the floors)

2012/13/14 - i moved off campus to willimantic may of 2012 in search of cheap rent. i lived on the corner of ash & jackson for a year and a half and then on walnut street for two more. i loved it!

 

[elmcityboy]

had a friend who lived in the nathan hale for a semester, which ruled. unlimited pool access, plus someone to clean your room for you! i imagine it was expensive as hell though.

I think the year before you moved in was the Stowe "End of the World" party, which was epic. Was Stowe co-ed when you were there?

Attended 08-12.

Freshman year I was in North (maybe New London, can't remember). I'm pretty sure my room used to be a storage area on the ground floor. Huge benefits in that there were only 4 doubles on the floor so it was only 8 guys sharing the floors bathroom. Plus we got lumped in with the floor above us with regards to the RA so I only saw him twice all year.

Sophomore: Alumni (Eddy)

Junior: Garrigus Suites (I think formerly known simply as the Hilltop Suites)

Senior: Hilltop Apartments. I wanna say Crawford was the building but I'm not positive.

01-02, 02-03 I lived in Alsop in West. I used to bump into Emeka and Ben all the time because they lived in the next building over. Moved off campus after that. They year I spent at Willington Oaks was probably the greatest year of my life, aside from the bad grades.

01-02/02-03, lived in Alsop (The International Dorm!) at West. Moved off-campus to a place on Gurleyville Road after that, followed by a move to Willington Oaks, which was awesome.

Good to see your story remains consistent from year to year.

How the hell did this year-old thread get revived?

I'd forgotten I posted here in this thread. I read my old post and thought to myself, "Hey this guy lived in my dorm when I did! ... wait....oh."
