There was never any shortage of eye candy. Add it all up, and the dorm was about two-thirds male. The dorm was pretty much surrounded by frat houses, few of which had enough rooms for all the brothers, so we were the next best option.
Another big constituency was fraternity guys. Those guys, no matter what weight class, were total studs. The wrestling team also had to live there since it was close to their practice facility and because their coach feared the distractions of off-campus apartments. They were hot and fit and looked great in their uniforms. For an extra fee single rooms were available - a freebie for Resident Advisers and desk staff.īut what I liked most of all were the residents. The opportunity to live for free was a big part of it, but I also liked the dorm's location and amenities, which included an attached cafeteria, a fitness center and weight room, and even a swimming pool. A lot of people moved off campus after their freshman year, but I decided to stay. The dorm was a high-rise with eight floors and about 400 residents. Mostly I just occupied myself by reading for class. Since I usually worked the afternoon shift, I also sorted the mail. It was an easy job that consisted of answering the phone, buzzing in visitors, and using the master key when residents got locked out of their rooms. In college I earned free room and board by working the front desk of my dorm.
