"I remember I got a parking ticket the first day."

"... during finals you would have these quiet periods ... There were no radios ... And then they would have what they called release hours where you could be loud and let loose and yell out the windows."

"I never really became a part of the dorm life... I did go through rush. Which was a traumatic experience-- not my best experience."

"We were supposed to be in, I think ... around 11. [Coach] knew we had committees we met on, and study groups ... We voted as a team not to drink at all. So, my sophomore through fifth year, we never drank during the season. In retrospect I'm glad that we had the discipline to do that because there was always fun going on. But for us to go out drinking then practice the next day we wouldn't have been as good of athletes as we were."
