1. Maybe you should start a fire
Then you'd be in control of the timing.

4. Fire, fire


Actually someone tried that at Seton Hall and a couple people died.

2. Lock the door
Close the lights and pray it's a drill.

3. I think it's stupid..
to announce that there will be a fire drill...

It should be totally chaotic, just like a real fire. *shrug*

I know, I am crazy.

7. What a waste of time.
I've lived here for five years now. I should be exempt.

8. At least you have some fair warning
Many the night I spent in the dorm, hoping and praying that nobody would set off the fire alarm. I think the one semester I lived in KU's dorms we had 6 false alarms - all usually in the middle of the night. There's nothing worse than waking up to a horrible sounding fire alarm.

9. We never had them in my dorm
I think it was because we had so many false alarms causing evacuation that everybody knew how to get out.

10. Sounds like Neff Hall...
It's where all the sports idiots live here on campus. And that place is the skankiest, loudest, drunkest place I've ever had the misfortune of visiting.

11. My freshman year roommate and I used to turn off the lights, tv...
and other appliances and stay in the room with the shades down. (The only time we agreed on ANYTHING all year ....was that after the 4th fire alarm pulled by a frat-type returning from a kegger in a week, leaving the warmth of the dorm to wait outside was just not happening.) I don't miss dorm life one bit.
