You will never forget your days spent in "Dirty Burge." Here are 30 signs that you got to experience the lovely dorm.
1. Life was a breeze because you could walk downstairs in your pajamas and grab a meal.
2. If you needed a coffee or anything before class, there was always the faithful C-store.
3. You bragged that your residence hall had the biggest rooms on campus.
4. You took a selfie and uploaded it with the geotag "Dirty Burge" at some point.
5. When heels clicked through the hallway, you knew that it had to be the weekend (or Thursday).
6. You were used to drunk people's shenanigans in the elevators.
7. You were also used to drunk people in the hallways. You probably had some of your door decorations missing because of them.
8. You got extremely annoyed when somebody took the elevator to anything lower than the fourth floor.
9. Sometimes, you got into the elevator in order to go back to your dorm, but it decided to make a stop in the basement. When it made the stop in the basement, the person from the basement decided that it was reasonable to ride the elevator to the first floor.
10. You got used to eating different forms of potatoes for dinner (mashed potatoes, fries, baked potatoes, hash browns).

20. You got a beautiful view of the construction of the new dorm.
