Did you stay in a Dorm while you were in College?  

Yes, but I hated it. We were required to live in dorms when I was in college, unless we were really old or had served in the military.
My roomies drank like fish, went out with low-life boys, and made noise 24/7. I spent as little time in the dorm as possible.

I'm glad you had a good time, though, and had nice roomies. I also hope the food in your dorm was better than that in mine.

Our dorm food was awful except on Wednesday when they served a ratty looking but edible steak. They wouldn't let the women into the cafeteria that night without dresses, high heels, and nylon stockings on. The men had to wear suits and ties.

Once practically the whole dorm got food poisoning. I think it had something to do with cockroaches in the scalloped corn. They told us it was just the flu, but gave us all some pills. They would not tell us what was in the pills. I didn't take mine and the ones who did take them did not seem to be getting well any faster. I think half of them were placebos anyway.

Hi dear
hope u must be doing well
i have studied in public school and it was 90% residential school so i end up staying 4 yrs in doormatry. it was not that liberty as u have in college dorms, we have to follow strict discipline and timings, like it was fic time to wake up, exercise, breakfast, school, lunch, games, study, prayers, dinner and light off. we were not allowed to go out of school peremises, no music and otherthings were allowed

but even then it was reallu great and we have great time there. i learn to live a disciplined life there and not to talk about punctuality, lol

and u know its always more fun to do "youth " things when u have rules to follow, LOL

sure it was fun and i can still recall that time

take care

I was a Dorm Captain and I enjoyed the sense of self importance as the incharge of the dormitory very much. I had a special office and a side room-with a lot of freedom. My efforts in mobilizing the Dorm members to participate in sports made my Dormitory feared by other Dorms because we were always the top athletes of the College. I relish every moment of my time as a Dorm Captain in college

Yup! College dorm! it was cool! you meet people from all walks of life and from different places. The dormitory curfew was 12 midnight but if want to go home late (gimiks) we just came in on a taxi and the guard wont check hahaha! It was a great experience. You get to budget your money well because you decide where to eat dinner, what to do and when to do it. A false move on your allowance will mean surviving with instant pancit canton until your next allowance! hhahahah! And then there was the illegal electrical appliances. The dorm charges us some fee for all of our electrical appliances and water heaters are not allowed (too much electricity). So we keep them hidden and take them out at night - small TVs, iron, water heater... oooops now they know why the dormitory electric bill was high :D

Well no actually. :) I want to try though. I've had lots of friends who stayed in dormitories and it was a good experience.

oh,i have the same feelings.
i stayed in a dormitory when i was in college,and i got four friends,we didnt know each other before we went to college,that was different from your situation.:-)but eventually,we were getting along better and better.college life was unforgetable,now i am graduated and will graduate from another place,i will miss my life of students.

I met few good and yet forever friends in the dorm. We have lots of conflict related stories. Fighting scenes in the room or with the other girls from the other units (since we have sportsfest, competition was stiff). We also had this set of dorm ghost stories and ofcourse dorm adventures. :)
The most memorable was from a women's dorm, we transferred to a male infested dorm. Which was OK, because we were the only girls back then hehehe! we made a lot of friends in the said dorm. :) After a year, an additional room for girls was provided. :)

nop i never have tried staying in a dorm. During college days until i finished it i was just living with my parents house, our house. School are not far so i dont need to stay in a dorm and it saves a lot too but of course that doesn't mean i am not independent and i have a lot of friends and schoolmates that are staying at the dorm and through them i have known and learn something from their life at the dorm.

Yes I did, and I'll admit there were some interesting characters and interesting times. I won't be forgetting my experiences either.
