Homecoming Weekend: Where Did You Live At UConn?

Buckley then Sprague. UConn sports celebs that lived in Sprague while I was there: Marc Suhr, Rod Sellers, Scott Burrell, "Cup" Covington Cormier, Kevin Wesley
 
Rogers A, Keg bar in the Basement. Rarely the RA might come up and say "Fellas, put a towel under the door at least." Decent Chow, good chef. Carriage House 2nd to last building on the left all the way down, water bed, forget the number. Barbra Manor.
 
Trumbull House when it was pretty new all 4,years, but more time at the Dairy Bar, Lou’s after women’s curfew, yes they had curfews, and The Rock Garden in Willi. Off campus living was rare. My last 3 years I was in a very big corner room for 2 that eventually I believe became a triple if not a quad.

The move toward gender mixed quadrangles (not dorms) started when I was there and I sat on the university committee that moved toward eliminating female curfews and gender integrated dorms. No more morality police, and the rest is history. The 60s were a great time to be in college, so many things changing.

I lived in 12A too in the 70's. We built a wall dividing the big bedroom into 2 smaller ones with separate entrances. To our surprise the management left it there. Was it still there in the 80's?

Yeah it was still there, I actually had one of those smaller bedrooms. Nice work!

Troy House. Same there, good chow/chef. Then Woodhaven Apts. I was asked if I wanted to wash the dinner dishes in exchange for eating there. It was a good deal.

End of the World party in South Campus for closing of Stowe in 93 was totally out of control and a blast!

The End of World party was when the university made Stowe co-ed. That happened in '79 It was wild, totally out of control and a blast! I laugh at your 1993 lite version.
 
When I hear descriptions of where many on you lived, I’m convinced we knew each other in our pre Boneyard lives. For me Fairfield Hall and Batterson D was where I laid my head when I wasn’t hanging out at Teds.

Yeah, that had me scratching my head.

That was the year after Stowe A literally had raw sewage dripping into the kitchen.

Even though Stowe had a/b/c/d like every other South Campus dorm, Stowe A were a breed of their own. They ripped out the pay phone so nobody could call home. A bunch of them would sit astride the sidewalk in the quad with Olympic scorecards rating every girl who walked by. They destroyed their dorms and blamed it on Wheeler just for something to do. And the EOTWP resulted in some students being denied diplomas until they paid back the $30K+ in damages. I was in C and we used to sometimes get the overflow from when they'd flood the hallways and turn them into a slip n' slide. Quite the group.
 
We called it the End of The World Party because the Dorm was being torn down, didn’t really have much to do with how great or crazy the party was.

Damn I thought we (the guys on 3rd and girls on 2nd floors) went hard New London 09-10

Worst I got is ripping the bulletin boards out the walls, knocking the ceiling tiles out, having the toilet seats kicked off, a stripper in one of the quad rooms (old study rooms?) here and there, girls flooding the floor when apple bobbing went wrong, swinging from the pipes in the bathroom, a chick almost burning the whole thing down with a poorly-ashed bowl...
