Did anyone here live in the shoe boxes?


Mar 19, 2020, 11:05 PM

I dont know how but my freshman year i was in 10-302. Reality crept in my sophomore year and i was in the tin cans on the sunny side one semester. Second semester moved to new F. Bottom floor. Lots of palmetto bugs. Going to the head at night was a real challenge. Those were the days.

Class of ‘71. Went through “rat season” and glad I did.

Johnstone F-4- Frosh
Cope- Soph. It was ok. Cramped and my neighbors loved to watch Simpsons and Married with Children right when I was trying to do homework that was due the next day. Really annoying how thin those brick walls were.
Moved to Thornhill after that.

D-3 entire time. Loved the street side. D-3 was ground level on the street side. Game days were a blast.

D-3 street side Freshman year, Cope Soph, Sanders Jr, Lever Sr and extra semester '73 (I thought Red Parker would give us 1 winning season while I was there. Came close 5-6)

I was in B-518 four years. The cool thing was that

B-5 was ground level, and my room overlooked the square with Harcombe Dining Hall was straight ahead from my window.

It was great for watching the young lady Tigers!

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

YEp! Soph year stayed in one of the lower ones closest to the road. I don’t recall the name. It was fine and an upgrade from the tin cans!

Sanders my freshman year (‘68)............


Mar 20, 2020, 11:31 AM

Shoeboxes at that time were the only male dorms, I think, that had air conditioning.??

“New F” had a/c. That would have been 1969. Someone here talked about showers and toilets. All of mine were community showers and toilets only had dividers and no doors. I think urinals had no dividers....not quite sure on that.
A different world back then. Oh, the shoe boxes only had #’s. No names. In 1967 #9 was the jock dorm.

I lived in one my freshman year. I think it was either Young or Sanders. I can't remember which. It has well over 40 years!

I was the RHD of Cope the last year of grad school. We built the volleyball court at that time. Played a lot of 3v3 basketball in that courtyard.
