Most believe that the on-campus dorm life is a must, but here in Austin, that type of living is optional. Off-campus luxury dorms create a new definition of what the “college experience” actually is; as for the Callaway House, this bougie habitat takes it to a new level. Here are 13 things its residents know all too well:
1. Being late to class because the elevators took so long.
2. Losing your key fob daily...
or nightly...
3. The highlight of your weekend is the Sunday night dinner featuring chicken, cornbread, pasta and mac and cheese.
4. You feel more than uncomfortable when passing the security guards late at night.
5. When you check your email and see a message from “EZTrackit,” it’s like Christmas.
6. Your low-key crush on the people working the front desk. It's just a little crush...
7. You high-key hate the cafeteria hours.
8. One of your neighbor's rooms is always loud, or the other type of loud...
9. Sharing a study room with a stranger(s) and feeling so much tension, you could cut it with a knife.
10. You have almost died several times in the parking garage.
11. Knowing that everyone’s doors are unlocked, but respecting their boundaries anyway.
12. “Burnt things in a microwave” is your favorite hallway smell.
13. When you hang out at another friend’s dorm, you feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for where you live.
