My freshman dorm was FreemanGood grief, am I the only one who lived in the hinterlands aka West Campus in Freeman? If the Russian Army was tasked with building a pow barracks in three days, you would end up with Freeman Dorm.
What really sucked is that I had the room next to the side door so every drunk who came home in the middle of the night but couldn't find his key would pound on my window to let him in. Ahhh, the good ole days.
Same, but loved the corner unit aspect. 3/4 graduated with one of the three having to switch majors to do so.I was in the front part of one of those God-awful corner double units in Smith on 3rd floor.
I keep checking back looking for info on the incoming freshmen. Just a bunch of OFs ( most not as old as me) reliving their lives in area I dorms. By the way, Glenn third floor corner room overlooking BDS @ HGF fall of 1972.
Brown 87-88, corner room overlooking North/Techwood intersection... a lot of wrecks in 3 quarters... then Harrison overlooking the connector for a year...Brown Hall for me. It’s the one on the corner of techwood and north ave. We had a crew of about 8 guys from all over the southeast. None of them graduated. Everyone transferred out but me. A lot of fun and not a lot of studying. I got two F’s and a D my third semester.

Bad scheduling and didn’t know that you could withdraw. Oof!
Our hangout room was the bottom floor on that corner. Had the bay window that added just enough room to get most of the crew in there.Brown 87-88, corner room overlooking North/Techwood intersection... a lot of wrecks in 3 quarters... then Harrison overlooking the connector for a year...
The old pink parachute! I wonder is it still pink?Brown Hall for me. It’s the one on the corner of techwood and north ave. We had a crew of about 8 guys from all over the southeast.

Aside from good strategy sessions, hearts and bridge were great relaxation leading to a clear mind and better performance on quizzes. I had a couple of buddies that were doing terrible one quarter, so I frequently tore them away from their studies for a game of hearts. They made their best grades ever that quarter. True story.Amazing how many of you guys lived in Smith. I too lived there in '62 and '63, after my first quarter in the old Techwood dorm, where I had a crazy roomie who set fire to the door to the room and was obviously kicked out. From '64 to '67 I lived in Hanson one of the (at the time) "new dorms". My best memories are learning to play hearts and bridge in the Smith dorm lounge. Do students even play card games like those anymore? I think there was a group of us that played virtually every night of the week.
