Dorms filled with farm animals
By Maker Moo / Student Publications
Two roosters and a pig enjoy their own beds while the room's human occupants are at a party. Dorms are overcrowded because students are bringing too many farm animals to campus.
This past fall U[sic]GA has been experiencing record numbers of students. With this recent surge the dorms on campus are beginning to become overcrowed. But the overcrowding just is not due to the waves of new students.
"We've got so many students wanting to bring their favorite farm animals in that the dorms are beginning to overflow," said Tim "Big Headed" Judd, director of U[sic]GA Housing.
Housing does have a rule where each student can bring their favorite farm animal to campus with them.
But since U[sic]GA has grown even more popular among the uneducated, the numbers continue to rise.
"It was all ok when they brought their favorite chicken or other small animal, but the animals sizes continue to grow. Now we got a whole barn's worth of livestock running through our halls," Judd said.
"I don't mind sleeping with my favorite goat Leroy, but my roommates jackass keeps me up all night trying to eat out of the trash can and making a mess in the floor," said Bill T. Goober, a freshmen Plowing major.
Not all students complain of the extra occupants in their room. Some have grown fond of their new roommates. "I love the situation. Couldn't be better. Me, my roommate, my chicken and his cow all have a great time. We order pizza for us humans and corn feed for our favorite animals and watch re-runs of Georgia's last national championship. That was a long, long, long time ago," said Wallop D. Beese, a freshmen Shoe Tying major.
With this party atmosphere in some dorms, intoxicated animals have been a problem. Just last week a cow belonging to an occupant stumbled into the girls' dorm after consuming three kegs worth of beer.
"We are investigating this incident but feel it was an isolated incident. These animals have never shown this type of behavior in the past," Judd said.
Until a new dorm are constructed or enrollment decreases students will contiune to have to live with their extra roommates. "We've only had a few complaints, but everything seems to be working out all right. We love the friendly farm atmosphere and would love to keep it that way," Judd said.
