a girl I was dating went home for the summer and back to her college in Arkansas, I flew down to meet her and I stayed in her dorm for a week but my fond memory was one morning I was the big spoon on the upper bunk and she was talking to her roommate who was in a bed across the room and while that was happening she grabbed my junk and guided me and we had sex WHILE she was talking to her friend and I always look back on that fondly, the halcyon days of youth

One time my then-girlfriend and I were wicked loving stoned watching Adult Swim in one of the common rooms of her dorm. It was late and we were the only ones hanging out there.

I got the munches so I went around the corner to the vending machine for some snacks. I was really, really high so before I put any money in I thought it was funny to just start randomly pressing numbers. All of a sudden, the vending machine starts spitting out food.

Did I unlock some sort of cheat code by randomly pressing a bunch of buttons??? There was no way I’d ever remember what combination I hit, but I figured I would reap the rewards while I could. Got like $20 of chips and candy for free. I dumped them all over my girlfriend when I came back in the room.

And that was the greatest story of my life.

*Stupid Babby*

lol at the different Rutgers stories, including me living in the river dorms for 2 years, nothing really interesting happened to me there. Instead I have a much goonier story.

In the mid-2000s Rutgers still had a bandwidth cap on everyone's internet - a weekly rolling 4 GB limit for downloading. And I was always sitting pretty close to that limit because of my :filez: - and I had to constantly watch what I was doing or else I would lose the internet in my dorm room for the day and I only had a desktop.

In my Junior year when I moved into Livingston campus, my floormates told me about DC++ - where you could join the Rutgers filesharing network and none of the data caps counted. I signed up and it really was living the dream - and there was a general chat for campus news and other poo poo that was going on, so usually you would have a couple hundred people on at any given time. I got good quality Simpsons rips that I still use today, and it seemed like everyone was taking my Buffy/Angel/Firefly stuff. But that wasn't the most popular thing I had...there was a shitload of porno being traded between people. And you could see which person you were taking from...and they could see you. Being a sharing goon, I also shared my porn videos (the last years before pornhub.) Every day, almost every second, someone was download my porn. I even got a message once for someone thanking me for keeping my files labeled so well.

I don't remember anyone's username on that DC++ hub except for one person: ProfJenkins. Named after an actual professor at the school, who I had for one of my classes which was just about Thomas Edison. And I will never forgot ProfJenkins downloading lots of my porno.

And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee
We also had DC++ at Warwick in the early 2000s and there was a whole lot of porn flying through the campus wires. The mods were pretty active and would often publicly humiliate and ban anyone. A guy on the floor before me got banned for having a file labelled ‘ILLEGAL INCEST PORN’ in his big folder o’ grot and we gave him a lot of poo poo about that.

Saw another student get hit by a car while she was crossing the road. The impact tossed her 6 feet in the air, popping off her backpack and one shoe, she spun around twice and landed on her back. Completely still for a minute, I’m sure I wasn’t the only one thinking I just watched a person die. Then she got up, put her shoe back on, grabbed her pack and started walking again like nothing had happened, clearly in shock.

I went to the University of Pittsburgh.
The main freshman dorms are in the block between two 4 lane roads , Forbes and Fifth Ave. Both of them are one way roads. Forbes runs away from downtown, Fifth runs towards downtown with one major exception, and that's that there is a bus lane on the lane closest to the dorms that runs counter to the rest of traffic.
There's signs on the walls advising students to look left as well as right while crossing fifth, but I personally saw 3 different people get hit by a bus while I was there. I don't think anyone died from the busses while I was there, but people got hosed up by busses a lot, especially in August/Early september when the freshman classes would come in.

There was Ash the ex-methhead. One day the class was discussing various techniques to survey remote points, such as the gutters of a tall house. Ash suggested one way, and I suggested that another way that we used at work was easier and quicker. There was like one or two back and forths as we debated which way was better. Then Ash invited me to take it outside.

Afterwards he apologised and said that before he got clean he would have just walked out and smoked some weed to calm down. Eventually I got used to his flare-ups and extremely dodgy short-term memory and he was a more reliable partner that the third guy in our group project, who contributed by cataloguing a bunch of information so badly I had to go back to the site and re-do it the weekend before the project was due.

My college had a dry campus so instead of smuggling in beer on Friday nights and getting the desk worker suspicious people would bring in pint bottles of booze. 151 proof rum was a standby

I remember Saturday and Sunday mornings walking into the bathroom. Will there be puke in the sinks? Probably. In the toilets? Sure, maybe on them as well. In the showers or on the floor? Maybe!

Our school didn’t have a Greek system but some dorms would put the new freshman students through initiation and hazing. When I was a freshman we got woken up at 4AM to do calisthenics on the front yard with the sprinklers on and had to take a dip of chewing tobacco and spit in front of our rival dorm

Then we were required to get up to go to the Sunday morning church service in the campus chapel LOL

I went on a massive xanax binge on a Friday night, woke up Wednesday morning and figured it was Saturday. I don't remember a thing and my roommates told me I had just been going to class and acting more or less normal the whole time except I was eating weird combinations of food, like ham and chocolate chip cookie sandwiches and fried chicken over ice cream.

i also was high on oxycontin and had other bad poo poo going and beat the crap out of some dude outside my apartment because I spat and he told me to watch where I was spitting. I woke up the next morning and signed up for study abroad and got the gently caress out of there for a year to clean my poo poo up.

College was a dark time. Me and my friends were bad. Half of them are dead.

One time I stole a tap from a party and sprinted across west Philly while drunkenly calling my friend and telling him between breaths "I got the tap!" I never used it myself and don't have it anymore.

Another time a couple years later, I convinced my other friend to take the tap from another party. We were about half a block from our house when three guys approached us. I don't know how they knew or found us. They confronted us, and I denied everything, but I looked over and saw my friend pull the tap from his pants - it was one of those long metal ones - and uppercut the guy in the face with it.

Without thinking, I threw two hooks at the two guys in front of me, one of which probably landed. But I had been drinking all night, and also don't know how to fight, and I don't know if one pushed me or if I just stumbled but I landed hard on my shoulder. I jumped up and had the one in a single leg while the other pulled me off of him. Their friend had retrieved the tap and they decided to bug out without further confrontation.

There was this "portly" cop that always tried to chase me down when they busted parties in the tiny rear end town I was going to school in at the time, but I was 6' and 125lbs so that didn't ever work out well. Like, he really had it out for me, every time I just sprinted away from him to freedom made the vendetta that much worse; as well, busting college parties and giving out MIPs is literally the only thing those guys have to do outside DWIs, that's how small that place is.

One time I looked back, saw our distance, and told him that he was lamer than Porky's 2. That one really took the wind out of him, and I don't know if it was confusion or if a really specific insult hit him super hard.

Anyway, about a year and a half after I stopped going there I was hanging out with one of my buddies over a weekend and we ate some 2C-I, then went on a walk after we started peaking. We walked by the police station and who's out front washing a car but my best pal.
I waved at him and told him I hope he's having a really nice day with a big ol' cheeser wearing a pair of mirror-tint Ray-Ban Aviators, and it took a second for it to register; but I have never seen someone look so defeated.

This rich girl who went to college with one of my highschool friends invited our group to a party at her mansion in Connecticut. One of my friends opened a wine bottle by pulling the bottle downwards from the cork, and in this motion he put the bottle through a glass table. He convinced the girls boyfriend it would be inexpensive to repair and gave him $100 cash.

The girl's dad was supposed to be out of town, but came back shortly after because his flight was canceled, or he was too shitfaced to get onto the plane, I forget. He was too out of it to care about the table.

Some time later, this girl dropped out of college due to being knocked up by her boyfriend with poor cost estimation skills.

My friend who broke the table had earlier that day found a mussel on the beach. He brought it with him to the mansion and cooked it on the grill. He spent the next day puking into a trash bag in the back of my car on the way back to Philly.

What's the tallest bong you ever smoked in college?

I had apartment neighbors and they had built a 6' bong. You had to climb halfway up the steps to the second floor to get in position to smoke it. Your first toke was just to fill the chamber; your second toke was to clear the chamber while someone down below would carb it out for you.

It was an obscenely ridiculous way to smoke weed, but it was fun to give it a go.

My weed guy had a gravity bong consisting of a 2-L sprite bottle with the bottom cut out inside a juice pitcher of water. The bowl was a 10 mm socket. It lived on his coffee table. It’s a really dumb way to smoke but in retrospect, each load was about one hit, you couldn’t bogart it, and it was pretty hygienic as long as nobody put their mouth on it. He exclusively sold schwag and low quality mids but his prices were ok and he was almost never dry.

Somehow as an 18 year old, I could do mornings. Somehow held over from high school and though the summer that I stated working at the college. 6:30 am was a ghost town in my floor bathroom.

And good that I was really awake and cognizant. Once a week, smashed beer bottles in one or more shower stalls. I did come close a few times puncturing my foot though.

The one that haunted me was beef stew in the sink every two to three weeks. Never a danger of accidentally setting up my shaving kit in one of those sinks as they were brim full of the stuff.

So much mystery! Did someone intentionally open a can into the sink? Did someone open the can onto a plate in their room and after a bite decided to Nope it and...used bathroom sinks that clearly had no disposal mechanisms (right next to the toilet stalls) to rinse the plate off? Did someone actually consume the entire can then after a 12 pack of Miller Lite, vomit it all into the sink?

We also had hand driers torn off the wall with huge patches of tile along with them.

While I was long gone by the end of the year, my roommate who stayed said that due to all of the destruction in the bathroom, hall, and common area all 40-50 students were charged about $500 in 1991 dollars.

I was convinced our floor had to be the worst on campus, but hearing that in another hall, the floor had succeeded in tearing down both the sheetrock and studs from the interior wall of a common room made me reconsider.

There was a guy in our dorms that was a complete drunk. Usually completely blotto by 10AM. I'm not sure if he ever even went to classes. Our dorms were suites with two bedrooms, a bathroom, etc.; two people per room. No weapons beyond a swiss army knife allowed.

This guy smuggles in a compound bow and some arrows.

One Saturday morning his roommates knock on our door asking if they can hangout and watch the football game or whatever. Okay.

They then tell us that the roommate was shitfaced and was shooting up their dorm room with the bow and arrows.

We all proceed cautiously down the hall to their room and there were three arrows sticking halfway through the wall between the two bedrooms. Like on one side of the wall there is the tip of the arrow and twelve inches of shaft, on the other side was the rest of the arrow. Three of them all randomly shot at the wall. Three other people were in this suite when he started firing. He was gone for the day and only lived at the dorms for a couple more days.

It was reported, but he wasn't even arrested or anything. He just disappeared a couple of days later leaving half his stuff behind.

I lived in a 15 story tower my Freshman year. I was on the 12th floor. The elevator was, obviously, abused constantly. The car doors would often not shut as it moved, and you could just ring the alarm bell and as it went up and down and you could hear it from my room. Got stuck inside a few times. One time it basically dropped 6 inches as we were getting out. Needless to say I got over my fear of elevators after basically having all sorts of poo poo happen and not die.

Also we quickly discovered that all the Xboxes could see each other through the ethernet network so multiplayer Halo was stupid fun with the whole tower gaming every night.

Our teachers would give us cracks to whatever industry software we might need. They would "magically appear" in the school network for x amount of time.

I also only bought two books because the teacher demanded we have physical copies.

There was this one dude that had a black beard and pink hair that sounded exactly like Homestar Runner and loved Gundam. He would spoon platonically with another dude that drew Ben10 erotica (I only found this out later, though I never saw the evidence) of the girl character with red hair.

I did, however, meet my spouse through writing memes on the doors to each other. We lived right across one another in the dorms, and got together after watching Gurren Lagann like nerds. I've been with them for 13 years now, and as they lie sleeping beside me, I'm glad that it didn't just last the 2 weeks I thought it would. The first thing they did when we met after the ritual meming was hand me a plush doll of the herpes microbe, saying "I've got to give you this."

Grad school is still college, right?

My master's supervisor had an adult son. He was a cartoonish caricature of people in the alt-right.

He always wore the same outfit: black t-shirt with a historical painting printed on it, a black suit jacket, black jeans, and big gently caress-off military-style boots. Even in the summer, when he was clearly suffering due to the extreme humidity, he'd wear this outfit. In an effort to get him to maybe be a little less racist, his mother sent him to China during the summer on a work-exchange type program, and he still wore that outfit. Apparently, he had to go to the hospital at least once due to heat exhaustion.

He worked in the lab for a brief time and, during his shifts, he would literally walk around the lab throwing roman salutes and saying extremely misogynist things to the (95% female) lab members (e.g., "Women are stupid", "women shouldn't have short hair", "women are filthy", "women shouldn't be allowed to vote"). Everyone reported this behaviour back to my supervisor, but she did nothing because she never saw it first-hand and claimed he never did that stuff at home.

One time, he changed the wallpapers on all the lab PCs to be confederate flags. I had to change them all back myself. Another time he changed them all to pictures/paintings of lynchings.

Another student graduate while I was in the lab, leaving an empty office behind. My supervisor's son started squatting in the office. He covered the walls in print-outs of portraits of people related to the eugenics movement (e.g., Francis Galton). When questioned about this he would explain that he was a "really big fan on IQ testing".

Since he was a spoiled man-baby, he had his own car that his parents gave him as a gift when he turned 18. He's a really bad driver and ended up knocking one of his rear lights out by bumping up against a concrete wall. He decided it was a good idea to try and patch the hole with a huge MAGA sticker. About a week after he did this, someone knocked out his other light and ripped the sticker off.

Also, we're in Canada. Not the USA.
