(To my American student readers: substitute “dorm” for “residence”.)
The first thing you should do when entering your room — after introducing yourself to your roomate, if you have one — is to flip the mattress over.
Trust me on this one.

what res did you occupy in first year at queens?

Queen's '06
Leonard Hall, room 313, bed on the east side for the 1987-88 school year. Left an autograph on the drawer of the desk: "Cunning Stunt [my original Golden Words nom de plume] was here."
Leonard Hall was all men back then (is it still?). Vic Hall was all women and "I spent the night in Vic" was a popular way to swagger. McNeill was all-guys and considered to be the rowdy place. Morris Hall was the only Main Campus co-ed residence. Chown had the nickname "The Nunnery", and we sometimes went to the Ban Righ cafeteria to check out girls.
Oh, if I'd only had the accordion back then.
And it's not "Queen's"! It's "Crazy Go Nuts University"! Google says so!
Back then, you had to make do with your little Casio keyboard, if memory serves.

The mattresses that are my fault are elsewhere!
*snort* *giggle*
Things have changed - Leonard went co-ed last year, Victoria Hall and McNeill have been co-ed for a while. You can still check out frosh girls at either Leonard or Ban Righ cafeterias.

I was in Kingston this weekend, and apparently this year there are 10 16-year old frosh. WTF. seriously.

Leonard? Co-ed? Say it ain't so!
What about Chown? And Ban Righ?
