Ahhh, hard to beat awesome dormies. For 2 years I was in one dorm, no problems other than the occasional sticky note on the bathroom mirror reminding me it was my turn to clean the bathroom....
Then move to the graduate housing intended for quite mature grad students as well as older mature undergrads and get the 5th year undergrad suitemate from hell. Rap music that shook the wall on till 3 am all week long, tv on till 5 am...but at least since I didn't have tv I was up to date with shows like the office, and sadly...american's next top model. **** I didn't even think she went to classes if they started before 10 and I had to be up and at 'em every frigging day for work or classes like a normal human
I'd wake up thinking there was someone in my room at 2:30 am but it was just her and her boyfriend going at it in the shower and then I'd hear the banter and discussion about "no it is big and you use it well". Seriously, she knew I could hear her as though the door was wide open, actually closed it echoed even better, but still...some privacy would be nice...if not for them at least for my sake. Even sleeping with earplugs did nothing but slightly turn the volume down from a shout to normal conversation face-to-face levels. Ahhh it was fantastic to move out...
Now living right next to train track with trains which go through all night and blaze horns anywhere from midnight, 3am 6am, whatever is a treat. I like trains. (Don't be silly of course you love trains...)
