You're alone in a room for two, if you are lucky. There is one red button next to each bed, wiring that bed to assistance and care. Each bed is freshly made and has its own sterile curtain for privacy - and maybe propriety. There is no television and there is no computer, and although in an age of technology this may be an anomaly, to have both, or even one, would be excessive.Along the east hallway, in the basement of Cushing, these rooms line up, one after the other, waiting for students to fill their empty beds. The first room is occupied at the moment; a cursory side glance shows the smiling patient lying under the covers, with the cause of the smile apparent: a break in the monotony in the form of visitors.

Che-Chi certainly has some good stories to tell. Stories that would make you laugh. Stories that would make you cringe. Stories that you would share with your friends at dinner. You know, stories about unruly college kids.

A student's transition from high school to college is often a major life change: living away from home, sharing a room, and dealing with a heavier workload. But on top of that, an unfortunate one in four college students comes from a home affected by alcoholism, according to a recent National Insitute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) study.

Saturday night usually sees a large Mod crowd. There are people running about, girls in short skirts, laughter, and general revelry. But not everyone's having the time of their lives. The angry glare of a senior moderating the door of a somewhat happening Mod is also seen.

When Patric Verrone applied to Boston College Law School, he was just following what he always envisioned he would be doing in his future. The ivy-covered Newton Campus supplied him with a serene setting for such an intensive program. After all, his work on the Harvard Lampoon as an undergraduate had been fun, but it was time to get serious about his career.

It all started out on Facebook. You suddenly had at least 20 new friends and went on a photo-tagging and wall-writing frenzy. When all of that wasn't enough, you updated your status every hour to let everyone in cyberspace know how fast and hard you had been hit by this common Boston College epidemic.

I was walking to my room in Voute Hall the other day when I passed my next-door neighbor. At least I'm going to assume that is who it was, because they walked out of the room next to mine. But the fact is, I don't have the first clue about anyone on my hall outside of my three-room corner (and we blocked together).

Last week, probably around 85 percent of the conversations I had with other people were related to two subjects. The first, which I talked about mainly with my friends, was Super Smash Brothers Brawl, undoubtedly one of the most addicting games ever. However, I am not here to talk about that; it's certainly not a big deal.

Riding my bike back from class, I took my usual shortcut through Nieuwmarkt - the old market square that runs adjacent to the Red Light District - when I came across a group of tourists wandering aimlessly in the middle of the street. I rang my bell but received only a blank stare from the group of visitors who, in return, received a look of exasperation and a rolling of the eyes as I was forced to go out of my way to avoid hitting them.

So, housing sucks ... what else is new? I'll be a senior next year and living in Edmond's for the second year in a row. My roommates are contemplating finding an apartment off campus instead, but I don't know how I feel about moving off campus senior year.

Published in The Heights on Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2001 It is hard to imagine that anyone could be turned away from volunteering to build houses or helping communities in the Appalachian region. But at the beginning of the fall, the coordinators of the Appalachia Volunteers program announced to a crowded room of over 500 students that they might not be able to accept every aspiring volunteer this year.
