College students reveal the craziest things they have seen in dorms

College students and graduates have looked back on the craziest things they have ever seen in their dorms, with stories ranging from hilarious to downright bizarre. 

Residence halls will look much different this fall due to the coronavirus pandemic, which is undoubtedly making people nostalgic for the good ole days when students freely, and sometimes stupidly, went about their business.

In the resurfaced Reddit thread, people happily looked back on the unbelievable things they have witnessed in their dorms, and interesting enough, a lot of the stories involved animals.  

Super story: One person recalled a student getting suspended for climbing the outside of the dorms in a Spider-Man costume 

‘I was an RA. I had eight residents trap a raccoon and bring it into their dorm to “domesticate” it,’ one person recalled. ‘Guess what happens when you let a raccoon in the dorm? It f***s s**t up.’

‘Someone stole a cow and brought it to the second floor of a dorm building,’ another shared. ‘Turns out cows don’t like going down stairs.’

One would think a cow would be the most unexpected animal to set foot in a dorm, but another Reddit user had that post beat. 

‘I studied abroad in Australia last semester. We would leave the doors to the residence halls open during the day so they didn’t get too hot,’ the person explained. 

Animal planet: One person recalled seeing a cow on the second floor, while someone who studied abroad in Australia witnessed a kangaroo hop down the hallway

‘One day, I heard a huge commotion in the hallway, so I open my door and THERE’S A KANGAROO HOPPING DOWN THE HALLWAY. It went in the door at one end of the hall and hopped all the way through and out the door on the other end. I miss that place.’

Many of the stories were dedicated to student hijinks, and some couldn’t help but note that a few of their dormmates didn’t make it graduation. 

‘I once witnessed a man snort a poptart (yes an actual poptart) and fall over two flights of stairs (not down literally did not touch a single step) and then look up to three passing girls and say “sup b*****s,”‘ one person wrote. ‘He did not finish his first semester of college.’

‘One of the RAs got fired…I can’t remember why,’ someone else recalled. ‘He had a week to move out of his dorm room, and it coincided with Mother’s weekend. Lots of moms visiting campus. He decided to get a keg and invite a bunch of people over as a “f**k you” to his bosses. 

Hilarious: Many of the stories were dedicated to student hijinks, including a fired RA who threw a dorm party attended by frat boys, mothers, and grandmothers

‘His room was larger than most, since he was an RA. When they broke up the party the people stumbling out were frat bros and drunk moms, and a couple of grandmothers.’

There were also stories of epic revenge plots that were both brilliant and completely disgusting. 

‘I walked in on a random girl alone in my dorm room. She was squatting over my roommate’s pillow and s******g on it,’ one person shared. ‘I just walked out of the room.’ 

‘One guy peed on a cookie sheet and let it freeze outside in winter,’ another recounted. ‘He took said frozen sheet of pee and slid it under another guy’s door when he wasn’t there. All the rooms in that dorm were carpeted.’
