January 28, 200620 yr when a room down the hall from your dorm room has a fire and they don't let you back in til one in the morning when you took nothing out of your room it rreeeeeealllly sucks
January 28, 200620 yr Author It sucks even more when the alarm goes off again at 1:45 and you get to finally stay in your room at 2:15.
January 28, 200620 yr It's much worse when there is no fire but faulty wiring causes false fire alarms during the school year in a res hall. At Marquette, I had 30+ fire alarms during my sophomore year. Some were real, most weren't. All of which come between the hours of 1 and 3 am. It was a record at the time but I believe it has been broken since.

Got to the point we tried to sleep thru it. Finally got fixed, but man it was rough.
January 28, 200620 yr Author The second time was when someone passed out and they wanted to get an ambulance there quicker so they pulled an alarm instead of calling 911. Too much work, I guess.

January 30, 200620 yr The worst is when you and some roommates share a 5lb can of bush baked beans and the fire alarms go off at about 5 am because of the "cloud" in the room. true story.
