I lived in the Owl's Nest in the early 90s. We were told then they were temporary housing from the 70s and 80s but were left up because they were so popular. They should have been torn down or renovated by now with all the new housing options being built on campus. I don't remember it ever being cold and I had a corner unit on the 1st floor. Probably since the rooms are so small it shouldn't get too cool.

Old timer (especially for Reddit). Bet you had the pleasure of walking across the railroad trestle when you could fall through it!

Yup, it was in my backyard! I had to walk across it after the '93 Storm of the Century to get my hungover girlfriend (now wife) saltines and ginger ale.
