My freshman year, the first floor of the dorm the guy's side were all triples, and each had their own private bathroom inside, whereas all other units had community bathrooms (though they upgraded that building to a block of community bathrooms, but private with a toilet, sink, and shower in each bathroom unit.
but moving on... yeah, our room was literally right next to the floor RA. And right next to her room was the building RA.
He was a douche, but our floor RA was awesome. Apparently alcohol has a smell, and our RA didn't give two shits about us drinking as long as we weren't stupid. She always saw the bud light box next to our mini fridge and just laughed, or our bottles. But she'd walk by and knock on the door and tell us to watch out if the other RAs were patrolling or if she could smell it.
What was never smelled was the best part - that little bathroom got used for things. :evil:
My current school year building is also awesome. It's an apartment-style dorm, each unit has a full kitchen and living room, and two two-person bedrooms attached, each with their own personal bathroom, which are really nice too. 5 floors, and the two RAs have either 2 or 3 floors. Drinking is basically something none of them care about. Hell, we had a permanent ping pong table set up for beer pong, and played it all the time.
Once we had a complex RA come in and card everyone because one of the guys walked around the building with a can of beer and they didn't like that, but nothing came of that since everyone was of age, thankfully. Next year I'm going to have to be careful, because my old roommates are graduating, and I only know the person who will be sharing my room next year, and he's not of age yet. Hopefully the other two like to party, or else next year might be awkward and boring. Last year was probably a little too fun, didn't do so hot because I have terrible self discipline. :laugh:
