Carpenter Tower

[TallTitan34]

When I was there, Schroeder was considered more popular.   I had a bunch of classes in Johnston Hall and I was always a sucker for my own bathroom.   So......two years there and not a single regret.

Schroeder still is more popular for sophomores but it is a dump and the rooms suck.

Pick Mashuda or Straz. 

I lived in Carpenter and Mashuda my first two years.  I had to live in Schroeder a week or two until my apartment was ready and it was probably the crappiest two weeks of my life.  The rooms suck, the building sucks, everything there sucks.

I actually started my sophomore year in 901, but moved on the day the Space shuttle blew up after my roommate had a minor meltdown involving the girlfriend he was obsessed with breaking up with him and him going for his knives.    The guy in 912 had his roommate leave at the semester, so the easiest solution was to move me down the hall, rather than wait for my old roommate to finish going postal.    I moved, I liked it, I stayed for my junior year.    Big room, nice view of the interchange, lots of closet space, a bunch of us from sophomore year staying together for junior year, could not beat it.    901 is a tiny little hole with a lousy view, except when the girls in 813 (is that the one on the inside of the U on the south side?) left their blinds open.   Thank you, ladies.

I live in Carpenter the first 6 weeks of my freshman year and thought most of the people were boring as hell.  All the guys I was friends with live in OD so I moved there.

While I was there, the funnest people tended to live in Cobeen (girls), McCormick, and O'Donnell (guys) freshman year.

Sophomore year, I didn't hang out or really know one single person who didn't live in Schroeder (unless they got kicked out).  That year may have been the funnest year of my life.

This might have changed, but nearly every MU alum I talked to said the same things going back about 10 years.

The bigger rooms and your own bathroom is nice, but its college and I didn't really care about that too much.  I was more worried about who I live with than where.  To each his own, though, I'm sure there were lots of people who lived in other dorms that had a blast too but I definitely wouldn't have picked any other dorms to live in.

Robmufan and MarqPTM's room was in the inside of the U as well which allowed viewing of the ladies floors.

I partied at Schroeder, too.   I could never tell the difference.   Schroeder had the rep while I was there, but parties were parties, beer was beer, and girls were girls.   The mystique was just lost on me, I guess.   I had enough of small rooms and communal bathrooms my freshman year at McCormick.
