Join the conversation about campus culture

I was reminiscing with some of my friends recently about our dorm party days. We laughed about how each dorm seemed to have its own style based on the layout of the rooms, but that really they were all the same: dark rooms with random colored lights, jungle juice spills and sticky floors, perfectly crafted playlists that always included Thriftshop and something from Taylor Swift’s “Red” album and the sweat. So much sweat. I still don’t know why we put up with all of the sweating.
