One of the best nights of my collegiate life. Our Hall Director organized this in about 2 hours.

I'm not even sure what I just watched... but I liked it.

Beats anything we ever did at Morrison Tower when I was in school. That's for sure.

Ohio State's band SLAUGHTERED Michigan's band. If this were a football game, it would have been Florida State vs. Savannah State. - SB Nation following OSU vs. UM 2012

@Thebadowl should I live in Park-stradley next year?

I'd try for Res on 10th or Worthington if you can, but I love Park-Strad, so I'd definitely put that on there.

I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.

See everyone always says Park Strad or Steeb-smith I know for sure I want to be on south and that Park-Strad is brand new but thats about the extent of my knowledge.

I don't care what anyone says. Morrill was the goods. I was there and never had more than 11 people in a suite. It was awesome.

4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off

I liked how close Morrill was to the 'Shoe, the RPAC and of course the Lincoln Tower Fields. Of course it didn't help that my suitemates chose to partake in ecstasy, cocaine and ketamine on a weekly basis. Because of that I ended up with three guys in a 10 man suite for the last month of Spring Quarter, which was awesome.

Unfortunately, they're planning to have 4 to a room in the towers, so there would be no LESS than 16 in a suite. Plus, proximity to quality dining and academic buildings makes it so much tougher to live there nowadays. I like how close it is to the RPAC and the Shoe, but that's about it.

Yeah I actually like the suite idea but Lincoln and Morril are so far away from everything and most freshman live on south campus

Very valid point. Nothing worse than the walk east to class.

Alrighty then......

Soth campus. I liked Morrison when I lived there bc it was the newest renovated of the south dorms. Now smith/steeb/park/strad are the best choices imo

Very, very nice! Haven't seen a better one yet.

My dorm, "Stinkin' Lincoln", from which I could catch some of the football action, in the Shoe:

Took me like 5 minutes to find her... she's like the creepy version of walda.

Nice that someone from OSU already got one of these out there. I have a feeling that Baauer's track is going to be 2013's version of the 2012 Psy's track. Mad props to your hall director, BadOwl.

@William

That sucks man. With that said some good did come out of it. My freshman year I roomed with a very odd character myself. Harmless kid, really-but just weird. We had a few run ins. Here's the greatest hits.

1) Morning one of my new life at TOSU, he was standing over my head at the foot of it-I woke up and he said "You talk in your sleep, please don't do it" and promptly walked out.

2) I was in the shower and had closed, but not locked out bedroom door. He came back from class and popped his head into the bathroom as I was turning the water off and asked me what I was doing. Naturally I said showering. He asked why I didn't lock our bedroom door. I told him I was the only one there and the suite door was locked so only suitemates could get it. He asked that I lock the bedroom door because we lived with "People from Southern Ohio"-one of our suitemates was a kid from Portsmouth, OH and could very well have been the absolute nicest person I met in my 4 years there, but you know, he's from Southern OH so he's a goon...

3) He came into our room and closed the door behind him. He asked if we could talk, I said sure. He walked into the bedroom, I followed. He asked if I could close the door. He told me he thought I drank too much and had an anger management problem. I responded by slamming a door on my way out of our bedroom\door\suite and stormed over to the girls suite where my then GF lived.

2 weeks later he moved back home to UA. I had a solo room.....for 12 glorious weeks.

Where's the north campus love at? Blackburn represent! #BHN

SoCalBuck26 on 14 Feb 2013 - 10:10am #

Lol. Thanks for the laugh. Man did they upgrade everything on campus these days? I don't remember Park looking that clean, of course I was always wasted when entering that place so I can't tell for sure.

It's been quite some time since i've been back to Ohio, moved back to Cali in '05. Baker East still there? Oh shady baker, place was so dirty in a good way. I just remember, my RA and hall director passing our open door while everyone in the wing doing straight 151 shots. We got a "really guys" expression, then they continued on their way lol.

I live in the the honors dorm Taylor Tower, on an all guy's floor. To my knowledge I am the only one that follows Ohio State outside of going to football games so this site is my safe haven. Oh, and there's my creepy room mate...while I'm doing homework or watching TV or something he will take out his huge block of american cheese from the fridge, take out his pocket knife, carve the cheese, and eat the cheese of the knife, all while staring at me.

OK that creeped me out jsut reading it.

kr66osu on 15 Feb 2013 - 2:04pm #

you just convinced me not to live on north campus next year

Lawver_5 on 14 Feb 2013 - 10:42am #

I live in lane avenue residence hall. I would suggest south campus, it's pretty close to classes and has the best food options. Park strad is really nice since they renovated it, and smith steeb will probably be the same way.

Live it up students... best years of your life.

Nothing like dancing on the field in 02...

Okay, I've watched this several times now, and each time I see something/someone new. The first thing that caught my eye was the panda bear, naturally. But I see more hilarious things with each view. Well done.
