Another word for hell hole. Basically, a prison that most colleges will force you to live in (usually up to 2 years) with a roommate. You mostly certainly will have to endure a crap ton of bullshit from that roommate during between that duration. The roommate may at first seem like a nice guy, but eventually, he'll end up becoming another arrogant prick and/or annoying pain in the ass that you'll can't even stand. Some college will allow you to live alone, but at an even more expensive price. Dorm life usually consist of booze drinking, drugs, sex, rape, occasional fighting, loud noises or commotions, vandalism (for some), pranks, and dealing with some weirdo dorks. If you're a guy or girl who wants to keep everything to him/herself, that's nearly impossible. The lack of privacy is horrendous and notorious, no matter where you are. There's barely any space for you to store or use your stuff, which explains why the average dorm rooms are a cluttered mess.

For those of you that just want to watch online TV, browse the web, do any online homework, MMOs, video games, or social media, the dorm room is a hell experience. Internet bandwidth is constantly terrible, since most dorm people will be using the internet to watch and download a shit ton of porn. Worst part is, you are forced to use the college wifi network, no VPN or proxies allowed. So the moment you connect, be prepared for hair-pulling annoying lag.
dorms are prison.

Surfing (dorms) 

Code word for drinking in dorms where alcohol is not permitted. It comes from when someone uses the hand signal of the thumb and finger to resemble a drink. Therefore making the hang-ten hand gesture resembling surfing.
Dude do you wanna go surfing (dorms) (while making hand gesture) in our room later?

Cold Dorms 

Also known as the CD's, this is the arena where fraternity street cred is born. Young gentlemen pork, blast, punish, drill, much, beak, and rail their way to stardom in this facility. It is an aggregation of blankets and bunks and it smells like used condoms and beer farts.
We slammed Kamchatka all night with the pi betas and we didn't even make it to Kilpiss because they were horny and just wanted to go straight to the cold dorms and take names.

The Grove Dorms 

The Grove is a cluster of four primarily freshman-designated dorms at Grand Canyon University. The Grove has never had one night of peace between the late night gatherings in the field, the constant fire alarms being set off, the parties and the students’ tendency to howl out their windows at night. The Grove Dorms are much fancier than your average dorm room, which would make more sense housing adults as nice studio apartments than college freshman.

Each dorm in The Grove had a reputation that somehow its residents always tend to embody.

Acacia (aka VapeCacia)
Juniper (aka JunipNerd)
Ironwood (aka IronHood)

and Willow (aka WillHoe)

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
