Sure, each hall has their own unique quirks and some have tighter knit communities than others, but each one is bound to have at least a handful of the following kids.

1. The Wannabe DJ

That awesome playlist that is played so the whole hall can hear is great during syllabus week and on the weekends, but when you have a test at 8am and you’re running on 3 hours of sleep it takes everything in your being not to throw their speaker out the window of the third floor.

2. No shoes, no shirt, no problem?

Towards the middle of the semester you start to wonder if the kid even owns a shirt. With a foot of snow outside, or a torrential downpour, yet you can still count on him going topless.

3. ‘She doesn’t even go here’

The one resident that you see maybe once or twice every two weeks who claims to live in the building yet it seems like their constantly MIA, and you find yourself saying “she doesn’t even go here”.

4. Mary Jane

You can always tell when this kid has returned from a night out due to their lovely lingering sent. You can even follow the trail from the main entrance, to the elevator, and down the hall where they conclude their night by finishing off an entire pizza.

5. The Partiers

Regardless of what night of the week it is you can typically count on the group of girls down the hall to be headed out for the night and returning around 2am giggling and screaming about their adventures and how drunk they are.

6. The Burnt Popcorn Kid

One of the most hated kids in the hall, no matter how many times someone tells them to put their popcorn in the microwave for two and half minutes instead of five, they never fail to let us down, setting the fire alarm off time and time again.

7. The Social butterfly

There always seems to be that one kid that you can always count on to pop into your room every few days just to say hi and see how you’re doing. Whether you find them creepy or endearing you tend to have a soft place in your heart for them.

8. The Dedicated Student

That one kid that seems to live in the study lounge, and night after night you walk past them thinking to yourself, I should be in there too, as you stroll towards your room for a Netflix marathon.

9. The Overly Prepared

Whether it’s a part of a costume for a mixer, a sowing kit, or a tool kit you can almost always find that one person who has the most obscure things, but who you can always thank for saving the day at the last minute when you’re in a pinch.

10. PDA Couple

The second most despised, maybe even the most despised, kids in the dorm who feel the need to suck each other’s faces for much too long in the hallway instead of venturing an additional foot into their room where they could continue their escapades in private without bothering their fellow hall mates.
