OT: What dorm did you live in at U-M?

South Quad Taylor Honors College 2002-2003, had a quad, two rooms, two walk in closets and our own bathroom. 

First year (00-01): East Quad--Prescott. 

Second year (01-02): South Quad--Thronson.

Enjoyed both dorm experiences and a keep in touch with a few people from each year on social media, email, etc. That said, East Quad was in dire need of a renovation, which came a few years later. Barely ate at the dorm as most of my friends lived on the Hill and I ate at one of their dorms--usually Couzens or Markley. (this was before they built the consolidated Hill dining hall behind MoJo). South Quad food was tolerable, but I enjoyed getting food from the Down Under (and East Quad had the Underground) if what was in the cafeteria wasn't great. A shame they shut those down too.

South Quad, 3rd floor.  I had a "Converted Triple", which meant a room that was plenty big for one person had three people living in it.  SQ was also laid out and visit looks just like a NYC housing project 

South Quad, at least in the 90s, smelled pretty rough for about all of September and then winter drove off the funk.  The cafeteria at West Quad was better, but at least it was right across the street.

I'd do South Quad again, but if I had a choice it would be West Quad.

Alice Lloyd in ‘85-‘86. 
Loved everything about it. Roomed with my HS best friend and we got along very nicely. Lived together for 4.5 years and still very close. 
The Hill was the place to be if you were Jewish, which I am. 
My dorm was filled with kids from the east coast, which was exciting to me at the time. (Don’t judge me; I was a relatively socially immature kid from Metro Detroit who was looking to expand his horizons,) 
Still close with quite a few people I met freshman year in the dorm.I enjoyed the progression of grilled cheese sandwiches from sandwiches to being cut up and used as croutons.

Son who is now a senior lived in South Quad. Probably considered the best dorm now due to location and having a dining hall. West quad residents eat at South Quad. 
Fast forward to this year and my daughter was placed in Bursley, which put her in to a tailspin (oy vey). Managed to get her moved to North Quad. 

Two tours of Markley—once as a freshman, once as an RA.

Go Blue! West Quad Rumsey. 

West Quad.  Loved it. It was connected to the Union.  It did suck that there were no elevators and I lived on 4th Adams. 

West Quad. 

Okay, I repeated myself. West's worth it.

Lawyers' Club. 1L was a triple suite. 2L and 3L were singles. Each on the Law Quad rather than South U, so very quiet. Last one was a ground floor unit with bay window and wood burning fireplace.

I understand that it was remodeled to all singles with private bathrooms and A/C, amenities we didn't have back before electricity. I wonder if the fireplaces are still there.

West Quad - Cambridge House. 
Loved: roommate and I got placed in a handicap accessible room, so it was a larger room with a huge shower and bathroom.  Great location in the heart of campus.  Also, my roommate became a lifelong friend, each of us serving as a groomsman for the other.

Hated: Cafeteria food was not good.  Breakfast was ok.  Ended up having a few meals in the Union (Wendy’s and Subway I believe).  Also, would cross the street to South Quad for dinner sometimes where they had BTB burritos available that you could use your dining card for.  The computer lab in the basement below Cambridge House was a depressing dungeon.  I remember seeing Ron Coleman (basketball) down there a few times.

Mary Markley.  6th Scott stand up

Markley -- Frost House mid-80s.  I'll acknowledge that Markley is an architectural monstrosity, but I had a great time there.  Met my (still) best friends, and miss those days.

Take a guess.

Mosher Jordan 1977-1978.  Closest dorm to Stockwell (female only in those days).  Enough said on that.

Fondest memory is probably the tackle football game the guys on our hall played in the heavy snow on Palmer Field on the day of the January '78 blizzard when classes were cancelled.  

While I strongly suspect this is a heavily male group, I am a little disappointed that no one's named Martha Cook.

(I have fond memories, got snuck in there a few times.)

North Campus married housing. Grad school for me and the Mrs./Dr.

East Quad

3rd Hayden Freshman year and 2nd Hayden Sophomore. I was a flexie and I met my wife there who was in the RC. 

East Quad - we had dorm wide Killer game freshman and sophomore years - keg parties in the cafeterias. 

I transferred to Michigan 2nd semester sophomore year and I was really lucky to get a single in Alice Lloyd through my future sister-in-law. It was a fantastic room surrounded by a bunch of great guys. The only issue was, it was very far from the bathroom. I rented a house with 5 other girls my junior year, so only spent one semester in the dorm. Had a great time. 

EQ!

MO-JO mother fuckers

Alice Lloyd, West quad as a soph.  

AL was great as I was a freshmen and making new friends.  W Quad was just a place to crash as I felt I was hardly ever there.

I did NOT live in the South Quad.  
 

But my sister did in the fall of 1992. 16 year old me was eager to visit.  Tyrone Wheatley lived down the hall, and Amani Toomer and Mercury Hayes were roommates directly across the hall.  They were cool. 

Mary Markley (engineering).  Though graduated as a psych major and am now a lawyer.  Late 80s.  Was freshman when Harbaugh was sr. QB.  GO BLUE!

I lived through the Markley Norovirus Plague of '04. Just a few doors down from patient 0 in Reeves hall. that guy... Bill something or other IIRC... was one of the worst people i'd ever met; when everyone he got sick was still suffering through the symptoms (and he was still contagious, just getting over his symptoms first) he ran through the hall bragging that he was going out to party and laughed at us. there was another time when his roommate gently asked him to turn down the TV because he had an exam in the morning, Bill screamed at him and threw his bunk ladder out into the hall. somehow he passed whatever behavioral screening is required to join the ROTC. i imagine it was like that scene in Observe and Report, but went favorably for the guy.

to his credit, he fit right in with the scene of the place at the time. the man for his time and place, to use the parlance of our times, seeing as how darkness was warshing over the times, and Markley was a giant, smelly hole
