The whole thing sounds a far cry from my own memories of dorm life. Certainly there were none of the activities you described; nothing like it. You just moved in and went off to deal with the lines of the registration process. I hated the dorm, got a refund after 3 weeks and moved into an off-campus house. There were lots of rundown multifamily houses that could be rented dirt cheap, and anyone with any sense of what was cool wanted to live in one. Ours was 3 stories, originally for 3 families, and there were 11 or so people, depending on how many were sharing rooms, at any given moment. The rule on food was that each person would cook dinner for the whole house once every 11 (or whatever) days. There was a bit of competition over quality, and some excellent food came out of it.

I think we aspired to be hippies, though we weren't quite sure what they were. That house is one of my few positive memories associated with any school.
