When did the dining hall on O'D close?

We would sneak kegs in boxes that computers came in....couldn't do it too frequently because nobody replaced a tower computer every weekend, even in 1999

Perhaps, but there were at least a few posts (not by me) mentioning how O'Donnell would be used in the future

Tell you one thing, going from McCormick to Straz from freshman to sophomore year was quite the change. Though I enjoyed my stay in Straz much more. Better room, better roommate, better food.

Decent guess.  Perhaps as late as 07-08.  Replaced by the 'man cave'.

Man cave?

They replaced the od cafeteria with a rec room. Giant HD projector, surround sound, Xbox 360, ps3 (both new at the time), bean bag chairs, air hockey, Foosball, ping pong, and pool table. It was named the man cave.

Only room that was air conditioned too

Some referred to OD with this term for a different reason.

Funny....when I was in Schroeder, I actually had my PC in the big box, bringing it in to the building, and was stopped by the DRs thinking it was a keg.

McCormick, Mashuda, OD. Campus Town is owned by MU so does that count too?

I was given a tour of Schroeder as a HS senior (1993) as it was just renovated. I never saw the inside of McCormick until MU Preview but I knew I wanted to live there.  The same thing happened at other schools - I saw the renovated or new dorms which were actually for upperclassmen. I guess it's a carrot: "come here and eventually you'll get to live here."

One thing I remember from a tour at Evansville, 23 years later, was how the phone in the renovated dorm was on a swivel - it was shared between two neighboring rooms. I thought that was rather strange.

I lived in Schroeder 93-94 which was the first year it fully reopened after the renovation.  It was really nice.  Clean, updated bathrooms, beds already lofted, really nice cafeteria.  The only problem were the jackasses who pulled like 15 fire alarms during the course of the year.  Also at some point an emergency fire hose in the stairwell was broken into and turned on on the 9th floor causing water damage all the way to the 3rd or 4th floor.  I lived on 10 so we didn't have to deal with that but the phone lines got messed up (no cellphones for the most part) and you would pick up your phone to make a call and there would be random people already talking.  Was occasionally fun to listen in on though.

A water main broke in Schroeder this past year and flooded like the first 3 floors really bad. To make matters worse I think it was at like 3 am too.

One thing I never realized until I left Marquette and started working for other universities is how rare the sophomore live on requirement is. It is also uncommon for universities to not allow juniors or seniors to live on campus. It is also uncommon to have freshman only and sophomore only buidlings. Marquette residence life is very unique. I wonder if some of those things will start to change as they move forward.

since i lived in waukesha, we changed my boys status to commuters starting their sophomore years to get then out of that requirement.  they then lived in apartments soph thru graduation.

Story I heard was that some chick turned on the fire hose.  Ruined lots of kid's electronics.  Half the hockey team stayed at my kid's apartment as a roomie was on the team.

My room at Tower flooded over Christmas break sophomore year and I had to second the spring semester at the Y.  I had a triple at Tower and though the Y was not great, I made out better than my roommates, who were both shipped back to McCormick to room with freshmen.  Had my own room and no real security, so that part was good for me and my girlfriend, but not the same as living in a real dorm.

One lasting memory of my freshman year in McCormick on 8 was that there was mice and whenever one of us caught one for some reason we hung them by their tails from the Exit sign near one entrance off the elevators.  We had quite the collection going before someone (staff?) finally took them down.
