Whel, I live where
dorms are ranked #1 dungeons....
I have to say that my biggest complaint besides living in a building that obviously and blatantly violates building code and living with a bunch of slobs (why people feel the need to leave toilet paper and uhm...feminine products all over the floors and not flush toilets is beyond me...you wouldn't do it in your own home, why do it in a dorm?)....is NOISE. It's so god@mn loud here 24/7 between the sorority b!tches across the hall who go out 2-4 nights a week (and I'm not even around on fri/sat night), the sXe boys next door who like to blast their music, and the wannabe white rappers who live upstairs and next door who make me listen to the basslines of their music all the time. Yeah, the walls are thin and it's college, but that's no excuse to be outrageously loud on weeknights after quiet hours (8:10 am class is a reality here...many of my classes aren't offered at other times) and it would be rather nice not to "share" at other times of the day when people are presumably doing homework, not partying.
</rant off before i get tempted to go on a killing spree>
j/k , before someone tries to track down my location and "warn" housing (who would ignore me anyway...i had a death threat that was ignored just a few months ago )
<edit>I think my biggest issue here is respect...of the buildings themselves and of other people. While I can understand the @sshole RA, it's even worse when you have one who can't be bothered to do anything for you if you're not cool enough in his/her books, especially if you REALLY need something done for you. And as far as drinking in college dorms...if you're smart, it's not hard to get away with it. Be nice to the RAs so they won't be trying to go after you, keep the traffic in and out of your room reasonable, and keep it quiet. And for god's sake...if you puke in the bathrooms, clean up after yourselves.</edit>
