Huge rooms, basketball court and lawn, lake and track right outside the door, Dome views, gentlemanly reluctance to force girls to make long walks home in the dark, and virtually no rules or standards regarding booze.

In the late 90s, and presumably before then, it was the best place on campus. It was a long cold walk, but the virtues far outweighed the drawbacks.

I would not be surprised to learn it needs a good rehab. But I’d rather hear the whole of Boston were liquidated than see that place be razed.

For the whole first semester he would rather sleep on my floor in Zahm than live in Carroll.

year because he rarely went to class. Presumably because my floor was too comfy, and then getting lost once he had to move to Carroll 2nd semester.

My junior and senior years, every morning when I woke up in my 4th floor room, the first thing I saw was the Dome and Sacred Heart across Saint Mary's Lake. Couldn't beat that view!

I just felt like an argument about Popeye's shouldn't elicit the most irrational response of the day.
Yeah, but they all ended up with STDs because of it
