==Thompson 3rd Floor==
The third floor of [[Thompson Hall]] is comprised of a wide hallway, two bathrooms, an elevator, and six single rooms. The floor's lack of common space is made up for by a large balcony accessible from the hallway. Its distance from the laundry room in the basement is also made up for by a functioning elevator, although the wisdom of using said elevator was called into question in the winter of 2003-2004, when the elevator refused to open, trapping [[Broderick Dunn]] '04 (a resident of the third floor) inside. After a tense hour-and-a-half standoff, involving several [[security ]] officers, a crowbar, and an electrician who had to be paged from North Adams, Broderick was finally rescued.
In past years, (2003 and earlier) the porch has been outfitted with a makeshift hot-tub. This is accomplished by running a heavy-duty hose from the sink in the bathroom adjacent to Thompson 313, along the hallway, and out to the porch. The hose is then placed in an inflatable pool (an electric air pump is recommended). In winter months, the steam from the tub forms tiny snowflakes which fall back into the tub.
