The Ludwell apartments were built in the 1940s and had no air conditioning. But they were furnished and there was a very small kitchen. Much better than dorm rooms and because of the bus service, much better than living off campus.
There was a laundry room across the way ... a kitchen mouse we named Hiram (don't ask me why) ... good friends who lived across the hall ... a single phone on the landing of the second floor right outside our door that served the six apartments in the unit ... and some guys downstairs who liked to play Turn the beat around loudly and often, which we tried to discourage by banging on the floor with my geology hammer.
The third year I only made it through one semester at Ludwell as Don and I got married during the Christmas break and moved into our first home.
