Many freshmen who live on-campus (as well as many students in 3-is-a-crowd roommate situations) find themselves in need of a warm place to go at night --for various reasons-- especially as the weather cools off. There are, I am sure, many places that could work for these desired late-night activities, but when I was a freshman I found the random campus vents to serve particularly well.
There are a number of these vents littered across campus, they apparently have something to do with the heating system. The good news is that they spew out warm air all night long, and most any decent sized building has one or more. Some of these vents are well enough hidden from public view for a "late-night philosophical discussion," or however you like to spend time alone with the opposite sex. The bad news is occasionally they carry distinctive smells from the heating system, or whatever has fallen into them.
This may be a good time to remind the reader that we here at Y Secrets encourage all students to follow the Honor Code. (but anything less than that is fair game)
I was always a big fan of the HFAC practice rooms. No one goes down there after 8:00 pm or so and the doors lock.
ReplyDeleteOh, man, I totally agree with the vents. If only they were closer when a certain loud roommate was playing certain loud foreign-language movies . . .
ReplyDeleteThe vent on the ramp up from Helaman Halls was affectionately known by my roommates and me as "Satan's Butthole." Not so romantic.
