College Students Reveal the Craziest Things They Have Ever Seen in Their Dorms

A Reddit user asked college students and graduates what the “craziest thing” they had ever witnessed in their dorm or residence hall was and some of the strangest stories were revealed.

If you aren’t ready to see some wild antics on your walk home or to fall into a makeshift slip and slide in the middle of the night, maybe perusing higher education just isn’t for you.

A Stolen Christmas Tree

“I had some friends cut down a Christmas tree from campus somewhere and put it up in their dorm room. The only thing is, real Christmas trees are not allowed because they’re a crazy fire hazard… They bought one of those things you would put a live plant in (a planter?

), some 90 degree brackets, and some screws and screwed the tree down.

Then they built a false top and sprinkled dirt and rocks (again taken from campus) on it to make it look like the tree was planted in dirt. They convinced our RA that they had an uncle who had a tree farm and allowed them to dig up a real tree to use for the year.

My absolute favorite part is that they returned the saw they used to Walmart.”

No Raccoons Allowed

“I was an RA. I had 8 residents trap a raccoon and bring it into their dorm to “domesticate” it. Guess what happens when you let a raccoon in the dorm?

It [messes] stuff up.”

Jam Session in the Elevator

“Lived in a 21 floor tower, something like 1600 students lived in it. 4 guys decided to have a jam session in an elevator and go up and down the building – had drums, guitar, saxophone, and vocalist.

I think every single floor wanted to murder them.”

Homemade Popsicle Surprise

“One guy peed on a cookie sheet and let it freeze outside in winter. 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.”
