OT: If you lived on campus, where did you live?

[Get a Job]

Let's see:

• Towers (Kingston) for a semester until I got thrown out of housing
• Squatted in girlfriend's dorm in North
• Squatted in friend's dorm in East
• Squatted in girlfriend's dorm in McMahon
• Hilltop Suites for a couple years when they let me back into housing
• Charter Oak apartments
• Hilltop apartments
• Didn't live at Stone House but spent more time there than elsewhere for a year

I think that's it.

I moved to CT after graduating and getting a job here. Then went to UConn for grad school. I never lived on campus. But my son's roommate at UConn claimed my son lived at Ted's. Where is that dorm?

 

[Robertelamin]

Nah definitely none of those things lol

They did have parties. I think they called it “Trap House” or something.

I feel like these house names must be changed every few years because I’ve never heard of most of them. I do remember a red house but for all I know it could have been a different house painted red.

Yeah they made up that name.

But, this wasn’t on Hunting Lodge.

I think the Hunting Lodge house names got passed down.

there are at least two red houses. I also saw a single house change names 4 times so they definitely do vary. The only ones I know that have had their names for a long time are the Dime, Puke House and Mushroom House

 

[Guapo]

Yeah there's a good chance we were at at least one of the same parties

Unsurprising thing I’ve learned from this thread:

Clearly, we're all pretty cool.

The honors college.

 

[Robertelamin]

Never heard of any of those either. I also went there before Carriage and Celeron were neutered so the house party scene wasn’t big at all except rugby house I guess.

 

[husky8273]

Hilltop, Alumni and the apts that were built across from Carriage House. Can't remember the name.

Celeron

 

[husky8273]

Spent all four years in Terry A (informally Terry Acres) in Northeast, then called the Frats.

Does anyone remember the Daily Campus comic strip Bedlam Hall? It was based on Terry A.

Paul Catanese?

 

[fatlucy]

Frats then Celeron. Liked Celeron. Had 3 different apartments there. The stuff we did.

 

[dbmill]

Paul Catanese?

Paul Catanese it is. My wife and I still have the Bedlam Hall book that compiled many of the strips from the Daily Campus. Great stuff.

I walk by campus today - and I went to UCONN in the late 1970s - there’s not much change. Don’t get taking away the Jungle moniker. But most look the same; with the exception being a bold different South & Charter Oak & others. Same alumni - McMahon - East - Towers etc. Oak at Storrs Center? Every big school has that now.

The academic core is amazingly upgraded. All components. And in 1979, it still looked like 1955.

Did they redevelopment? Yes. Landscape? Yes. Fix that big issue with Babbidge Library? Yes. Good food? Kinda. Kegs in your room? Huh? And then lugging it to soccer games? Nope. ROTC dances? Pub on campus?

Ok. Somehow you must be having fun.

The Anonymous Pub!

They actually had good music too. And drink half price pitchers & stumble home.

Ok, these videos restored my faith that UConn students are more or less the same as they've always been:

(of course, this is not actual Spring Weekend)

 

[HeyMoe]

Freshman Year: Crandall A (87-88)
Sophomore Year: Crandall A (88-89)
Junior Year: Walden Apartments (89-90)
1st Senior Year: Crandall A (90-91)
2nd Senior Year: Crandall A (91-92)
3rd Senior Year: Walden Apartments (92-93)

As you can see I was more interested in the partying scene then studying as it took me 6 years for a 4 year degree.

Is that @uconnphil2016 drinking the treehouse in line?( I swear I’m not picking on the kid on purpose lately)
