"My friend from down the hall on the second floor was unable to get her stuff, and she's with me right now. We're kind of both just displaced at the moment. I'm living out of a suitcase, and she's living with nothing,"
"I was in my lab doing dissections when a girl next to me, who also lived in East Residence Hall on the same floor as me, the second floor, told me, not by email, not by a statement from the school, but by word of mouth from another roommate, that I had ten minutes to grab my things and that a pipe burst and we were being flooded,"
"Based on initial assessments, approximately 50 rooms in the blue hallway of floors 2-10 were impacted with varying degrees of water damage,"
A sprinkler pipe burst on the tenth floor of East Residence Hall due to extreme cold temperatures, causing widespread flooding. Initial assessments indicate approximately 50 rooms in the blue hallway on floors 2–10 sustained varying degrees of water damage. Hundreds of students were displaced; some students received minimal information and lacked immediate places to stay. Several students reported learning of the emergency by word of mouth and having only minutes to collect belongings while lines formed to access rooms. Police escorted residents to their rooms amid wet stairs. The East Residence dining hall will reopen Wednesday morning.
