15 Things I Won’t Miss About Living in Brockman

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Xavier chapter.

1. The Bathrooms.

The smell….no one can handle it, especially with the puke and all. Also, are they haunted?

 

2. The lounge couches with foam coming out of them.

No one knows how old they actually are, or who’s puked on them.

 

3. The fire alarms.

They never happen at a reasonable hour. Never. 

 

4. The desk rocking chairs that constantly tip over.

I have fallen out of them at least three times this semester.

 

5. The strict RAs.

Enough said.

 

6. Leaving your all card in your room and having to pay five dollars to get your door unlocked.

Five dollars is a lot for a college student.

 

7. Quiet hours.

College kids don’t like to be quiet at 10 pm.

 

8. Other people’s hair in the communal showers.

That’s just gross.

 

9. The poor Wi-Fi connection.

Uh hello, I need to be able to log into Canvas.

 

10. The toilets flushing before you’re done peeing.

Just because I moved half an inch doesn’t mean I’m done.

 

11. Walking down the hall in your towel and running into a boy.

This has happened too many times to count.

 

12. The broken heater and air conditioner.

I’m either sweating or wearing ten layers in Brockman. There’s no in between. 

 

13. Having to walk to the basement to wash your clothes.

It’s a lot of flights of stairs, especially while carrying all that laundry. 

 

14. The low ceilings and white asylum-like walls.

It sometimes looks haunted.

 

15. The constantly broken vending machines.

I’m always ‘hangry’.
