- just about everyone. on-campus students with nowhere to go over break are all clustered into one dorm and there's a rumor that that - auld lang syne loves mandy lane Dec 29, 06:48 7
  - Our dorms were closed during xmas break when I was in school, too. - JaxSean Dec 29, 06:56 6
    - The fraternity house was great...we went ahead and paid for heat year-round. It was sweet....never closed. -- nm - Jim Dec 29, 07:00 1
      - reason number eight to date frat dudes. I totally stayed in frats over breaks. that was sweet ass. - auld lang syne loves mandy lane Dec 29, 07:21
    - heck, our dorms were closed for Thanksgiving and Spring Break as well. -- nm - znufrii Dec 29, 06:57 1
      - and for the one dorm that was kept open, you had to know someone there and get their permission to stay in their room. - znufrii Dec 29, 06:58
    - we had one that was open for the stragglers (mostly foreign students). -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 06:57 1
      - iirc, they had one that was open, too. But it was very limited. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 29, 06:59
- I bet ten bucks the grad students are in lab anyway. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 06:47 3
  - they aren't. there's no heat. maybe you were just unusually dedicated to work in the freezing cold. - auld lang syne loves mandy lane Dec 29, 06:50 2
    - My niece and nephew--both in PhD programs, aren't doing any coursework. Physics and Bio-engineering. Most students go home away from campus anyway. -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 29, 06:54
    - Grad school's a waste of time anyway. nm - Jim Dec 29, 06:52
