All the Small Things at MSOE
For the past two and a half years. I’ve learned a lot about MSOE. Here are some of the little things I’ve learned (this list may not make much sense unless you’ve actually been to MSOE):
- Free Chipotle burritos (with your MSOE ID) are offered at least once a year.
- Using the Raider Plan to wash your clothes is $0.25 cheaper (even though the card reader claims it’s the same price).
- Using the Raider Plan for the dryers isn’t any cheaper, but the dryers last the full 60 minutes. (Using quarters lets the dryers go for a little more than half that amount of time.)
- Everybody goes home on the weekends, making Saturday or Sunday morning the best times to do your laundry.
- Some of the RWJ showers are too hot at 6:00 in the morning. It takes about 20 or 30 minutes for the showers to cool down.
- The Regents showers are too cold at 6:00 in the morning. The showers don’t heat up until 7:00 or later—and you have to wait even longer on weekends.
- Most of the students use either iTunes or Winamp.
- The majority of the MSOE population is addicted to Facebook, MySpace, or both.
- There is a continuous debate over saying “bubbler” versus “drinking fountain” and “pop” versus “soda.”
- Most of the MSOE population are MEs and EEs.
- MSOE sponsors a yearly Wheelchair Day event, where students can ride in wheelchairs all day.
- MAGE spends a lot of money every year to hold a handful of sci-fi and gaming conventions every few months.
- Most students don’t use their personal websites.
- SDL is a fishbowl for students to see SEs slaving away as they walk to class.
- BEs are touted with having the toughest major.
- SEs and MIS students are accused of having the easiest majors. (It’s so not true!)
- SEs statistically have the highest GPAs.
- MSOE keeps you busy.
So now you know.

…said zchozen1 on October 26th, 2006 @ 3:49 amThere is a trick to the Regents showers supposdly according to my roommate. You turn the shower to 3/4 full heat, then to full heat, then to 3/4, then to full, and repeat that every 15 seconds for about two minutes and apparently it will be just right. That’s according to my roommate, who is the only one awake at that time in the morning in my suite.
I don’t know where you’re hanging out, but everyone definitely does not go home. They go out into Milwaukee, but not home. Just an opinion.
…said Jeramey Jannene on October 26th, 2006 @ 10:23 amI still beg to differ. When I used to live in RWJ, it wasn’t unusual for almost the entire floor to go back home on weekends. Most of my friends go home on weekends. (They like going back home to go do their laundry.)
This also supports the fact that people rarely do their laundry on weekends. I wake up on weekends to do my laundry and never have to fear that a washer or dryer is full. Why? Because nobody does their laundry on weekends for some reason (presumably because they’re at home).
All my Regents roommates (except for one or two) go home on the weekends. I usually have a shortage of people to hang out with because all my friends tend to go home on weekends.
So, from my experience, I see quite a bit of people going home on the weekends. At least everybody from RWJ 11, RWJ 12, and people I know from Regents 3 and Regents 1 all go home on the weekends.
