My first year of college was anything but a smooth transition into adult life. You see I came from a small town in Iowa to a big city college in Philadelphia. I had made the journey once before to tour the campus and I fell in love with the place. The scholarship money they awarded me also was a big help because I was from out of state and my parents were strapped for cash. The dorms were especially nice because they felt more like a home. There was a living area with chairs and couches and big screen TV. There was a kitchen area with a dinette set for 6. With five individual bedrooms and two shared bathrooms to the unit. It was unlike many of those institutional feeling dorms with two to a room and a common bath down the hall. Bathrooms had double vanity sinks and huge walk-in showers with clear glass doors.
The day of check in was fast approaching and because I was from out of state I arranged to send all my things in ahead of time. My flight from Iowa to Philadelphia had been delayed and I did not get into the airport until 9 pm. By the time I got to the college I must have been the last one in because the check in person handed me my key, told me how to get to my dorm and left for the evening. Worn out from the days events I just wanted to find my room and go to sleep. When I got there and opened the door I was surprised to find four guys in my dorm apartment and I think they were surprised to see me. With a first name of Jordan it could have easily been a boys name until someone actually saw my 34C tits.
My head started spinning. I tried to contact the admin building to tell them there was a mistake but it was late and they must have closed. I didn't have any money for a hotel room.
One of the guys, Drew, said, "Look it is late and you look tired. The bedrooms all have locks on them so why don't you stay the night and try to straighten things out in the morning?"
I took the time to look at each one while I thought of my reply. Three of the guys were white and one black. None looked like a rapist or murderer. In fact one, named Dave, looked like a nerd. I agreed to stay the night and since I was the last one in they showed me where my bedroom was. In the room were the rest of my belongings waiting for me. I made the bed and crashed for the night.
The next morning, as the sunlight came into my room I heard dishes rattling. It appears as though I bunked in with a bunch of early risers as it was only 6am. I got dressed and went out to the kitchen where Drew offered me my choice of bacon & eggs or cereal for breakfast. Opting for the cereal we started to introduce ourselves. Dave the nerd started as I had already met Drew. Robert was the black guy and Jason was the other white guy. I told them my name was Jordan but they already knew that because of the tags on my luggage. They asked where I was from and I explained from a small town in Iowa. They were all from the Philadelphia area but just too far out to be able to commute. We cleaned up the dishes but I had to wait until after 8 am for the admin building to open. Some of the guys left for their first classes. When 8 am came I went straight to admin and told them about the mix up. After about two hours of being shuffled around I was finally informed that there were no other campus housing options available so I had three choices. 1. Stay where I was. 2. Stay where I was and wait until female housing opened up from drop outs. 3. Look for off campus housing.
I went blew a gasket. Thoroughly disgusted I decided to attend two classes while I pondered my options. I had to rule out option 3 because my room and board were part of my scholarship and my parents didn't have the money. Moving through my classes in sort of a daze I went back to the dorm at about 4 pm. All the guys were there and I told them what my situation was leaving out the part about the money. They all agreed that I was more than welcome to stay if I wanted options 1 or 2 and that they would respect my privacy. After a few minutes I told them I would like to stay until female housing was available. It was settled that this was my course of action.
The following week was a bit rough on all of us. Being the only girl I consumed more bathroom time than anyone. Our schedules collided on Monday Wednesday and Friday when we all had early morning classes and only the two bathrooms. I was also getting tired of getting completely dressed to walk the 10' down the hallway to the bathroom to get undressed and then redressed. During the week I continued to follow up with administration but there was no apparent break in the housing situation.
That night as I lie in bed I thought on what could be done. The guys had been such gentlemen but I could tell I was wearing thin on them. I had a boyfriend back home but we broke up before I set off for college. I was no prude and while we were dating I became familiar with the male anatomy although we never had intercourse. When I wasn't aroused by him I could look at his naked body and think to myself that it was nothing more than skin and should be viewed as such. The idea started to form in my head that if everyone could accept each others nudity while in the dorm then we could handle things more efficiently. First, the bathroom doors would never be locked with the exception of having to take a dump as my roomies would say. This would save both the person going and the one that walked into the room both embarrassment and the unpleasant odor. Other than that bathrooms would be open to anyone needing to pee, shower, brush teeth, put on make up or any other personal hygiene regardless of anyone's state of dress. Clearly, I needed to talk to the guys and overcome the nudity issue.
Next morning no one had any early classes. As we sat at the kitchen table I started by thanking them for putting up with me. They all said no problem but I knew was not true so I started to lay out my plan. I explained about unlocked and locked doors and how if a person was in the shower that anyone could enter to pee or use the vanities and that went for both bathrooms. I told them that they had all been such gentlemen that I felt I could be in front of them completely naked without it being a problem and hoped that they felt the same about me.
Drew spoke first and asked, "And how do you propose that we all become "comfortable" with this new arrangement."
"Quite simply", I responded. "We all have about 2 hours before anyone has to go to class. We could all get naked now and hang out in the living room or we could do it tonight after dinner."
They all looked at each other and then me. "Do it now" was the unanimous decision.
I moved to the center of the room and asked, "Have you all seen a girl naked before and I don't mean a magazine?"
They all nodded yes except Robert the black guy. Robert spoke up and said that he had seen nude women before but never a white one.
