Dorm Life

Pietro Alfano

It can be expected that your college dorm room is not going to have all the luxuries of home, but a few would be nice. For some campus residents of Aurora University the dorms leave a bit to be desired.

When you think of dorm problems, you probably think of small rooms or having a roommate who you may not get along with. In some of AU’s dorms those are problems people would gladly trade for. “At random times the toilets will start leaking. From all floors all the way down to the basement, then all the floors start leaking water.” Said Davis Hall resident, Julius Lagrone, now to some people that may not seem like a problem; but everyone knows what happens in toilets and if you don’t mind that water leaking into your hallway and rooms then more power to you.

Alright so you get over the fact that you have bipolar toilets. Now you’re in your room and its 100 degrees outside, time to turn on the A.C…or not. “There’s no A.C so you would just lie in bed and bake. You would think the winters would be alright, wrong again. You don’t control the heat so you’re at the mercy of whoever is controlling it” said Jenks resident Derrick Powell. If you’re looking for a good way to lose weight maybe this is the place for you, but if you don’t want to look like you just came out of a cool water commercial every time you leave your dorm then this could be a problem.

Alright now these dorms are kind of old so they have an excuse. If we take a look at the Taj Mahal of AU, we still see things wrong. “Don’t get me wrong the dorm is beautiful, but at two in the morning when I can hear my neighbor talking that’s a problem.” Said New Hall resident Nick Brown

Of course, these are things that are out of the student’s control and I’m sure there are actions being taken to fix all of these problems. In the mean time we just have to keep our hopes high with our overwhelming love for our University and all of its great qualities
