I hope he's not in Cate. Those are the lamest dorms on campus. At least the towers have a TV room and study room on each floor.
TV Room? Study Room?
For serious?
You didn't have TV in your room in the towers? If you lacked TV, you sure as hell didn't need to leave your room to study. I always preferred the Library anyway.
Also - Protip: if you guys cruise by the Outreach / Continuing Ed / Liberal Studies building (just south of the dorms, across from where the Pool building is), they always have coffee there set up for whomever to have a cup. Free. STRONG coffee too. Non-traditional (read: old) students always need coffee. It's just a given. The custodians brew it and take care of it, and are super nice so be nice to them and keep it clean. And make sure to drink it black, as one should.
