HmmmmI think it's "happened" at every Uni which has tower block halls. I certainly heard it when at Soton.

Yes, it's utter bollocks.Particularly at Lufbra, where because of a lack of basement area the heating units are on the ground floor of Towers and the accommodation starts two storeys up. So, if you did chuck someone out of a room on the lowest floor you'd probably kill them anyway.
There are other variants, such as freaking someone out by jumping from the window and coming back in, or lying at the bottom covered in ketchup waiting for the cleaner.
One we did do was to someone who nicked loads of pint glasses from the bars - filled them with water, up-ended all over the room.
I also got up very late one afternoon in Elvyn Halls to find a wall of beercans built in my doorway.
