In case those high lottery cutoff numbers had you thinking EC was some sort of “Palace in the Sky,” you can enjoy a hearty helping of schadenfreude this morning.
Tipsters tell us and Housing confirms that all hot water is off in the building because of “emergency repairs.” Maintenance crews are just now arriving, so there’s no estimated time yet for when the hot water might be back on.
So, if you live in EC and were in need of a hot shower this morning, you may want to investigate the time-honored tradition of the bucket bath. Be sure to heat the water in your microwave first.
UPDATE 12:07 p.m.: Housing confirms the hot water is off in most dorms, the notable exceptions being Woodbridge, Watt, and — The Land That Happiness Forgot — McBain. Repairs are nearly completed, though, so the hot water should be back on shortly.

@Holy Crap That makes me want to go to prison! Free food, sunny, well-lit rooms, conjugal visits and plenty of free time. So what petty crime do I need to commit in Australia to get there?
@ummm AUSTRIA.
@ouch why are columbia dorms worse than prison?

re: microwaving water – be careful, every now and then someone gets a really terrible scalding from this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheating#Occurrence_in_the_kitchen
doesn’t mean you can’t heat your water in the microwave, but just don’t pull it out without first disturbing it with an object to make sure that it didn’t superheat
that is all
@gym no hot water in the Dodge Fitness Center…and showering there after a workout can be pretty hottt…

@lol step-a-trons
@Bwog do you go to Columbia? Are you run by students any more? Living in the past? Mcbain is actually a pretty nice dorm to live in now, since the renovation. they built a second elevator, a number floors are wood-paneled, doubles are for the most part pretty large, they have treadmills and step-a-trons, etc.
@yeah I agree with this…I don’t know why you’re so down on McBain–better than any other doubles on campus and you’re basically with all sophomores. I loved it last year, all my friends in Bway and Shapiro doubles were miserable.
@lol optimistic arent you
