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

[boog204]

West (Shakespeare/Troy) from 98-00
Carriage House 01-02

Looks like I'm the only Westie here thus far. Loved that place the first two years. Then the complete blur of madness that was Carriage House. I should have moved to South (it was brand new then) instead.

I know when I left a sorority had that house, want to say it was Delta Gamma. Awesome spot and definitely worth renting if it is available.

It has definitely made the rounds. It was the business frats main house for a while, then sig chi, then unaffiliated, then it was TKE. That's the last I knew.

phi delt has it now. Was there any other big party houses other than Red House and Dime.

 

[Excalibur]

Yeah there's a decent amount.

My wife lived in a really nice place on the lake during her senior year. End of a cul-de-sac, new house on a hill.

This sounds like the first two sentences to a novel.

It's interesting finding out approximately how old some of you are.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Got this idea from another thread. Thought it would be a good summer thread.
Did my freshman year at SCSU, then:
08-09 Alumni; Watson, 4th Floor
09-10 Busby; 237 or 247, somewhere around there.
10-11 Charter Oak; Hough, 101

Stamford Branch for 2 years then McMahon

I had some friends that lived in a nice-ish house down Moulton Road

Are you surprised at how old or how young?

 

[UC1995]

McMahon North 1991-1995

I think I'm most surprised by how old its making me feel lol

Was it new construction? Marble countertops, big chandelier, fire pit in the backyard? I went to a few of those parties.

You feeling Old makes me feel really, really old.

 

[navery12]

I'm surprised how many people are roughly the same age as me. Thought most were much older

Nah definitely none of those things lol

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

Same, no offense all

 

[JMick]

Oh well lol. Was it down the bottom of the hill? White or yellow house, screened in porch, had bands a lot? Kind of an alt crowd?

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.

Hmm maybe?? I think they called it “Trap House”

If anyone remembers the band “Dangerous Animals” they played there and at Pub 32 a lot

I know all of them lol. We shared a social circle. And yes I went to a couple parties there

The biggest improvement was the paths between what was the Co-op and ARJ and Monteith. Whole freshmen disappeared in that mud pit, along with hundreds of shoes.

I disapprove of all this nice housing with good bathrooms, cable, internet etc. They need to suffer as we suffered. I honestly think the lack of the kind of fun you had @Pudge is because these people have HDTVS and XBoxes etc. Plus internet .

I was also there a few times, know a few of those guys through mutual friends

I'm realizing there's a high percentage chance I was at many of the same parties as you all lol
