Akoronnick,
Probably because it is a girls' dormitory and it would look bad for a bunch of guys to be lounging with the girls after a smoke alarm (real or false).
As for strip #1552,
Team Riker = awesome. Go Steve & Cosette too.
Boyfriend Waiting Area. Coffee, cognac, & camaraderie, wish I had that during my datings of youth.
Also, nice touch with the one guy (turtleneck) in the waiting area reading Proust, goes really well with the other guy having cognac :-) .
akronnick:
They're sitting in easy chairs fifteen feet from the front door. It's pretty obvious why they are there. Why do they need to make themselves scarce? If they are not allowed in the dorm wouldn't they want to be anywhere but near the scene of the crime, as it were?
scarred:
Weirder things happen at dormitories.

Have you never been to a school where the standard fire drill is for everyone to wander out onto the nearest field where the population will be checked against the list of known residents?
akronnick:
No. All the dorms where I have lived I was free to come and go and have visitors as I pleased.
What would happen if a resident was not at home when the alarm went off?
Do they have to sign out every time they leave the building?
Is there a curfew? Last time I checked it wasn't 1962 anymore.
If visitors are allowed, how would they be accounted for?
If they are not allowed, how would they be kept away from the residents when everyone is outside, in public?
Are residents forbidden from seeking other places of repose when the fire alarm sounds?
I know that high schools treat their charges more like inmates than students these days, but I don't think colleges are like that (yet.)
