Campus nightlife was nil as well. Not to mention if you were out late in town, there was a good chance of you getting robbed at gunpoint. Happened quite often, which was another good reason why I was happy not to live on campus.

    Dorm rooms at my campus were like storage closets. Tiny windows, SUPER HOT, and I got to sleep (I didn't actually get any sleep that night though) in the same dorm building where three students died in a dorm fire a few years back. The bathrooms were abysmal. There was no way I could deal with that. I hate having filthy bathrooms. Which reminds me, the bathroom at home could really use a reapplication of some tile grout, but that's a big project and I haven't ever done it before.
    Well to be far I don't live in Jersey. We have a downtown as well (which is closer to my side of campus so I go there a lot for like Jimmy Johns). Everything's really expensive though so I usually just stick to the mess hall. There's parties all the time here though. It's pretty much assumed by professors that you're out partying Friday and Saturday nights, and it's slowly becoming accepted for this to be a Thursday thing as well. Wednesday's still like a gray area because it can be but that doesn't mean it is. The only day off limits is Sunday for some reason.

    Well that's another perk of my dorm, since I'm not in the high rises or shoeboxes, I have a suite style room. This means I get my own bathroom that myself, my roommate, and the people next door share with us. We take turns cleaning it too. I've heard horror stories about the high rise bathrooms. One time in one of the buildings they found mushrooms growing in the showers. Plus in the buildings with both genders in it, the guys can just walk down the steps to the girls's floors and that causes all kind of issues.

    Are we talking about who has the best/worst campus? Cause my campus is in the middle of nowhere. If this university didn't exist, neither would the town.

    That said, we're a massive student body (50k+ students) with lots of traditions that keep things interesting. But yeah, not much to do around here unless you're willing to drive 2-4 hours.

    There's a tradition on a university's campus I toured on where if you stepped on this circle on the center of the courtyard you had to touch the statue of the founder in a minute otherwise you wouldn't graduate. So we're touring and my tour guide steps on it, swears, and sprints to the statue. Apparently this isn't uncommon.

    Funny, we had something similar. If you stepped on the concrete seal on the pathway in the center of campus, you were bound to have a bad day and chances were good you'd probably fail something. I did that once or twice and usually I'm not superstitious, but I sure didn't do that crap again.

    We have several like that where I go now. If you look the statue of the founder in the eyes then you'll fail a class. If you read the plaque on the tiger statue by the basketball stadium you also fail a class. And if you enter the Calhoun House (founder's house) before you graduate you won't graduate.

    Wow, geez, your campus is booby-trapped all over the place!

    Wouldn't it be nice if there was something that actually helped you do well for once? Well, besides studying and keeping up with assignments, of course.

    Yeah completely.

    Well there's is a place that's called lovers lane that if you walk hand in hand with the person you're dating then supposedly you'll have a happy marriage, though not necessarily to each other.

    Well hey, at least your campus has that going for it!

    I don't think my campus had anything like that. If it did, I never knew about it, though I imagine the people that live on campus are more aware of these crazy cursed things. But the walkway seal was a BIG one and it was strangely true and even got published about in the school newspaper. My younger brother went to the same college, made the same mistake of stepping on it, and confirmed it.

    They really should just build a fence around it. XD

    I'm not even gonna question how that "m" and spacing got in my message xD. I've already beat you and Xanthe to a few. Xanthe had the perfect chance to say "gotta catch em' all" recently, but I beat her to it xD
