Archaic term used by jealous Rice Students to refer to Martel College, the ninth and newest residential college at Rice University. Urban Dictionary

A dormitory that is for both male and female residents, not separated. Urban Dictionary

The secluded, only all-male dorm at the University of Texas. It houses about 200 men and resides in the Northeast edge of campus. It was formerly known as Simkins until 2010, when the board discovered that the man was an avid member of the KKK. Most of the residents hate themselves for waiting until mid-May to apply for housing once they arrive on campus. Several residents were forced to live here by their moms because it's not co-ed, and therefore the only "conservative" dorm at UT. This dorm is a sick joke and blows for many different reasons: 1) There are two dining centers on campus and Creekside is equidistant from both. A 10-minute walk up-hill. 2) There are no other dorms by Creekside; the only things close by are a museum and a parking garage. 3) There are off-campus hoodlums that come by at night and cut bike-locks to steal our means of transportation. 4) There are these fucking gnats that occupy a space above the sidewalk to Jester everyday. 5) The immense amounts of pubic hair that get piled on the shower floors. 6) The builders conveniently placed the door hinges for the closet on the wrong side. You have to cram against your drawer just to open the door. The good things: 1)Its close to a nine-hole municipal golf-course. 2) There's an xbox and a broken 52-inch TV upstairs. 3) There's always a game of Dungeons and Dragons going on in the entertainment room. Cheez-its all-around. 4) There's a group of guys that sometimes smoke a hookah outside at night. Urban Dictionary

Busybody student who oversees the maintenance of sanitation in dorm thus often gets deployed by fellow students in cleaning activities as a trump card. Urban Dictionary
