I lived off campus in LaCrosse for all 7 years of my undergrad. Was fun. :p:D

Lesson is to never put the bills in your name and never count on getting your security deposit back.

Pretty much my story at UMN. Much of it in an engineering frat. My pledge class kinda reset the reputation of the house. :o From uber-studious nerds to drunken nerds.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

I did a year and a quarter (quarter system my first three years at SCSU) in a standard dorm setup, a year and two quarters in "apartment" style dorms for a year and two quarters, and then my final year was off campus with a great location - about ten feet from campus.

My manager just dropped some news on us that as of immediately he's no longer our manager, that we've been reorganized into another group, a new BA group that's been created. So many things going on today.

I didn't actually take 7 years (in-school), but rather 6.5 years where two of those years were spent working full time+ to gain residency and save money and have fun not being in school. An awful lot of partying, debauchery and road tripping happened during those first 5.5 years.

Eventually met the wife and it was time to get er done and was finished shortly after.

So the State Clay Target League that Jr shot trap for in the spring is adding Skeet for the fall league this year. Jr will shoot trap this fall. His school shoots at a club that doesn't have a skeet range so they can't enter that. He shoots a pump so he wouldn't do well at it anyway.

I think our Purple Cow was trying to say he was stiffed out of money and had to clean up after the slobs he lived with even though he moved out awhile ago. (ETA: never mind...)

I lived in the dorms all four years at school. Ours was a residential campus and the only "off campus" housing wasn't really off campus; honor/service oriented and language houses that were still property of the college.

I'm guessing that the roomies are "charging" him his share when he wasn't living there, and also maybe that cleaning was part of the roomie agreement. Agreement not fulfilled, then no payment for utilities.

That's the thing; I came back and did clean, for hours, and my mother even helped these guys out with cleaning things such as window sills, trimming, doors, etc. (College kids rarely dust these things.) When I moved out, the main floor was clean, as we had just spent a day cleaning it, such as a spring cleaning day. Enter my hiatus from living there for three months, where I came back and the main room was a disaster.

Really, it's not much of anything that I can really control at this point, unfortunately. If it had been part of a "roomie agreement", which we never truly had, wouldn't the courteous thing to say be, "Hey, if you don't help us finish this room that's fine, but we're not going to pay you the remaining utilities on the lease."?

I still like my suggestion of contacting the parents. They obviously aren't adults yet so their parents need to know what they have left to learn....

Should have transferred the bills out of your name to someone else's when you moved out. If they refused...cancel the service.

What a **** day.

I got a ride in to get the comped rental from Ford since my car is still in the shop. On the ride in I said, "man, I hope they don't give me a Fusion again. I hated the blind spots that thing had."

I get to the service counter and he says they have an issue with the rentals and that Pat at the rentals desk would explain. I get up to the front and Pat tells me they are running low on vehicles and all they have left are these

Ffffuuuuu. Whatever. It's free and now I'll be able to drive in for my root canal appointment.

So then I drive home before my dental appointment to drop off the laptop and brush the teeth. I go to unlock the front door and find that my house key is missing from my key chain. Great.

So I take off to the dental office and get a call at 3:45 when I'm 90% of the way to Blaine telling me the dentist isn't feeling well and that my 4:20 appointment will need to be rescheduled. The next available appointment at a time that doesn't require me to take an entire half day off is September 24th *deep breaths*

I drive to ford and drop off the van and Dave in the service department lets me look in my car for my house key. No luck. I talk to the rental desk and they don't have a car to rent still and that my rental wasn't noted as being comped.

So, I don't have a car, I had to drive a 12-person four-wheeled blind spot through two rush hours, my dental got cancelled half an hour before the appointment when I'm sitting in traffic on 35w, and I can't find my house key.

I am so sorry you are having such a bad day. That being said, I laughed the hardest I have in days clicking on that link. Hope it gets better!

So MNS might know the answer to this - baggage employees - do they work for each airline, or for the airport?

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

Lived in a dorm my first year at tUMD, then the second year, they were technically campus housing, but honestly, they were just non-mobile-trailers on campus. And it was awesome. No real neighbors to worry about for noise, etc, since the lot resembled a trailer park, AND it was the last year they were going to use them. They built more dorms on the lot the next year. Why was it awesome? tUMD didn't care what happened to them.

We modified some of the furniture to fit our needs, didn't care about "oops, scratched the paint" etc. Even took the wooden stair railing/board for personal use when the year was done.
