[need Aggies advice]Dorm Question

I don't have any experience with any balcony rooms, nor do any of my friends. i lived in lechner hall last year which is also modular. it was pretty spacious and im very messy...clothes and papers and books all lying around...

but anyways. what im getting at is unless uve already made your mind up to change, id suggest maybe trying out a modular dorm for the first semester or year. mainly because i think changing dorms is a real pain since u cant change until the school year starts or something like that.

so basically youd just move in then have to move to another dorm. and you're not even guaranteed that you're going to get your change request granted. but i'm not sure if that's still the policy. might wanna check up on that

 

Everyones messy in a dorm.,..there just aint enough room to not be. If they aren't, then they probably don't go to class and are gonna flunk out anyways!

 

My son will be a freshman at A&M next year also, he is incredibly messy and I feel sorry for his roommate. I lived in Leggett while I was there a million years ago.

My guess, and it is just a guess, is that the singles are reserved for upperclassmen. Fish are the low men on the totem pole when it comes to room assignments, or at least used to be.

 

I lived in Hart Hall for two years: 1972-73 and 73-74. Is it still standing?

 

Get used to hating this:



And loving this:

 

The fact that you are a freshman means the odds of you getting a modular or a single room anywhere are pretty slim. I got lucky by applying late that everything was pretty much booked and when somebody in Eppright decided not to comeback a few weeks before classes started they put me in there.


As for being messy, if you do get a modular, get there as soon as possible so you are the first one there, take the bed on the farside of the room by the window. You'll have a giant closet right next to your bed that you can just throw your crap into once it starts piling up. You don't have to worry about keeping the bathroom clean because there is somebody who will come in every week to clean it.

 

and to think you passed up on the hotties, 6th street, barton springs, the drag, lake travis, and a real athletic program to go live in college station for 4 years.

good life choice.

 

Ouch. That was harsh. He's always got the Dixie Chicken.

 

just be a football player, and get some booster to pay for a nice house.


that's how all colleges work.

 

I have seen HFK, thought it was FHK but then again I don't even remember ever hearing of Wells, Eppright, or Clements, lol. I liked HFK, it just felt or open and bright than the other dorms I have seen.

Anyways, if you want to stay out of a dorm (and trust me you do) I have a place for rent in CS. Townhouse off University 5min from campus. Think about it...

 

^- he's right. Dorms suck. Even if its with someone you know. Enjoy trying to go to sleep while your roommate watches Nickelodeon all night

 

melting pot

 

Obviously an old pic. TAMU went through a great deal to mix up the spices. I know a white dude tried to dance with an Indian chick and the Indian dudes she was with roughed him up. Tables turned. Somewhat.

 

Maybe that white dude asked the chick, "can you help me with this?"

 

Yes... they put window units in it and Walton in 2002.

 

First of all, I would get the hell away from all the Northside crap. That's where all the weirdos that shave their heads and try to make you do pushups are.

Chances of you getting a modular are very, very slim. Just try to pick your crap up. It's not very hard. I am very messy by nature, but it is just laziness if you can't spend 3 mintures a day putting your clothes into a hamper.

I think southside is a much akin to Houston, and Northside to Houston. Get south and stay south. Don't shave letters into your head, don't put pots on your head, don't wear overalls to games. Trust me, you will be able to sleep at night knowing that you weren't a douche during the day. People like that give A&M a bad name.

Traditions are cool, but there is a line where it borders on idiocy. Anyways, good luck at school and clean up your stuff.

 

I lived on the Northside and didn't do any of the stupid crap. It was better because you could just walk across the street to Northgate.

 

I went to A&M for two years beginning in 1972. I shared a "floor" with seven other guys: 3 were white, 3 were Tex-Mexican, and 1 was Black. The three Mexican guys were my best friends. The Black guy was a distant Upper classman who didn't want much to do with us Fish.

Oh yeah, there were also some RedNecks!

 

I didn't say that everyone did it, I said that is where it takes place in abundance. Just like there is some of it on Southside.
