are unannounced fire drills in dorms a bad idea?

Mostly because you don’t live in elementary and high schools, I imagine.

My undergrad school would post on the doors of buildings a window of a few days during which there would be a random fire alarm. I thought that was a good way to run things because you didn’t quite know when it was going to be, but you knew if you had some serious work to get done you should avoid working in your room for a day or two.
